One of my favorite ways to take advantage of all the fresh produce around this time of year is to throw a pizza party. Invite a few friends over, take a trip to the farmer’s market and pick out some really fresh toppings, and then experiment with four or five different pizzas! The thing about [...]

I bought a loaf of bread a few weeks ago. This is noteworthy because I very rarely do this anymore. It’s become such a normal part of my weekly routine to mix up some no knead bread that I rarely have to buy the stuff. But occasionally, I still like to try new loafs. The [...]

It’s my opinion that it’s near impossible to find a really good hard roll (I call it a Kaiser roll) anywhere in DC and I imagine in many other places. Sure, I know you can find them in New York and honestly there might be a few bakeries in DC that can make them correctly, [...]

A few weeks ago Betsy and I had a few friends over and I decided to whip up a few pizzas to feed us. I haven’t posted on pizza recently (although I have in the past), but it’s one of my favorite things to make at home. While it’s pretty difficult to replicate excellent restaurant [...]

I’ve decided that a good babka is like a good movie… it’s got to have a lot of different parts to it. You want a movie (babka) that’s kind of sweet, but not too sweet. It should be filling, but leave you wanting another piece. It should get you excited for the sequel (more babka). [...]
