The kitchen is a laboratory. This is my lab notebook.
Revisiting English Muffins
English muffins are typically a somewhat mundane breakfast food. Could a homemade version elevate them?
Bolted Wheat Sourdough
Many people think they don’t like whole wheat. Is bolted wheat a path to a compromise?
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bagels
What bagel would a kid (or adult) enjoy more than a chocolate chip bagel? How about a chocolate chocolate chip bagel?
Falling Flat: Sourdough Bagels
I have been using what seemed to be the perfect bagel recipe for years. Would converting it to sourdough take it to the next level...or ruin it?
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Sourdough Bread
Sweet sourdough breads (as opposed to desserts that incorporate starter) are hard to find. Is chocolate the answer?
20% Buckwheat Sourdough
Buckwheat is often touted as a unique flour, but is it only worthwhile for the gluten-free crowd?
Sourdough's Slow Recovery
A journey to quality sourdough bread takes persistence and patience, but it’s worth it.
Good Crusty Bread is Clocher Than You Think
I have had mixed results in recreating truly crusty bread at home. Could a simple clay pot hold the answer?
Ring Molds for Burger Buns
Ring molds are great for perfectly round omelettes (e.g. for egg sandwiches) or controlling the spread of loose doughs for English muffins, but how well do they work for burger buns?
Brioche buns (plus chocolate)
What to do with leftover brioche dough? Buns allow for easy storage and variety.
