fauxstock
For those of you that are already familiar with bostock, I need to ‘fess up that these may look like the real thing, but they are actually sort of a fake bostock. Hence the name. The bread part is an enriched sweet dough, similar to cinnamon roll dough, but it’s not brioche. Everything else follows the recipe…

cinnamon conchas
Do you remember in a previous post, I talked about making Mexican Sweet Breads? Well, that day has come! These are known in Mexico as Conchas, which translates to “Shells”! They are sweet bread rolls that have a thin, crunchy cookie-like top that is flavored and colored with cinnamon. Initially, I was also going to make…

adzuki heart buns
Yes, I succumbed to the pressure of making something for Valentine’s Day. I followed my heart. I have always tried to follow my heart. I’ve always wondered where this figurative heart is.

New Year’s Day–Buns!
Two things about this. One, I didn’t make them on St. Lucia Day, like I should’ve, which was on December 13th. They are basically the recipe for St. Lucia Buns, or Lussekatter, from Joe Pastry. Second, I only had about 1/4th of the saffron needed, so I made them without the saffron. In tasting the finished product,…

pumpkin cinnamon rolls
I was looking at a recipe for pumpkin buns. They looked more like fancy dinner rolls, but somehow I lost the website and couldn’t find it. So I decided to make cinnamon rolls out of the dough instead, only they may not be as sweet. But that’s okay. With just a 1/2 cup of pumpkin,…
