• 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 […]

• sweet fougasse

  

  Fougasse is really just the French equivalent of Italian focaccia bread. As with focaccia, they can be made with various ingredients and can easily be made sweet or savory, depending on mood or occasion. Today I decided to make sweet ones. I like this recipe because it makes just the right amount for two large […]

• Gâteau à la Crème

  

  I knew the glorious sunny day that we had on Friday here in Seattle wasn’t going to last, and that it would be rainy this weekend, which typically makes me want to bake something. After seeing a video of Chef Raymond Blanc, imploring viewers that they MUST make this, I decided to give it a whirl! This is a […]
