Bread, Focaccia & Pizza

I saved this cheese crackers recipe for 2 reasons. First, because I am fond of cheese and a cheese cracker cannot be bad. Second, because the author of the recipe fascinates me with her story. She is Dorie Greenspan, that left her gerontology doctorate to bake […]

This heart shaped bread conquered me immediately. I know hearts are too much used for Valentines, but I can’t help, I just love them! I had the recipe with me these last two days, but there was always something that came in between and I […]

This herbs bread with feta cheese is…all you want when you arrive home hungry and want to eat something. It is what happened today when my son arrived. I had just cut this bread and ate the first slice with my daughter, as it was before […]

I love whole grain bread. Since always. When I was a child there was white bread at home, but not everyday. The bread that never missed was the whole grain bread. I tried many recipes. Some good, others not so good. The whole grain is […]

This croissant recipe will conquer you too. It is the simplest at all as it don’t require the common dough working the normal puff pastry needs, but it is so flaky the same. You just put together the ingredients quickly, a little rest in the […]
