French Toast Bread

July 10, 2012 Melissa 9 Comments

I am fighting a  painfully frustrating war  with my two year old son when it comes to eating breakfast. I feel like I have tried everything under the sun with virtually no successes. I  win the occasional  battle and think to myself, "okay, now we are finally on to something", … [Read more...]

Braided Brioche

February 12, 2012 Melissa Leave a Comment

I love brioche!! How can you beat the oh so soft and rich interior of a bread that is made with so much butter? Well, I think spread a bit more butter on a slice and add a touch of fresh raspberry jam! This dough is hard to work with and I recommend making the dough by stand … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Doughnuts

October 26, 2011 Melissa 5 Comments

It is October which just screams pumpkin  to me. I will say though, that after Thanksgiving hits I am pretty much pumpkin free for the next 9-10 months. Since I made my own pumpkin puree this year I have an abundance of the stuff in the freezer so, I have been looking for all … [Read more...]

Apple and Sweet Cheese Bread

October 24, 2011 Melissa 2 Comments

I love bread, I love apples...oh and I love cheese danish! So, this apple and sweet cheese bread is all encompassing for me. It is a nice enriched sweet dough with sauteed cinnamon apples and rich cheese danish filling. There are a lot of parts to it, but it is worth the extra … [Read more...]

A couple months ago I was searching around the internet for interesting local things that were happening around me, when I stumbled across the website of Brod and Taylor. They are a company in the final stages of product development  for a home bread proofing box. I thought it … [Read more...]

Raspberry Cheese Danish

June 22, 2011 Melissa 3 Comments

This past Father's Day I thought it would be nice to bring my father some danish to enjoy before his golf match. Who can resist flaky pastry filled with creamy cheese filling and a touch of raspberry? This recipe is a very similar dough to my apricot danish recipe, but slightly … [Read more...]

Cheese Filled Babka

February 28, 2011 Melissa 5 Comments

This babka is very different from my Easter babka. The Polish style that I make for Easter is laced with raisins, but this babka is a richer butter dough that is filled with a creamy cheese filling. When you cut into this loaf you will see the swirl of thick cheese filling … [Read more...]

Apricot Danish

October 1, 2010 Melissa 1 Comment

Apricots are a very mild flavored fruit and so they do not overpower this recipe. I also like to fill them with a bit of cheese filling  that I use in my  raspberry  cheese danish  as well as the apricot, because then you get a nice balance of sweet and creamy. If you don't want … [Read more...]
