There are two things reasons why focaccia’s the best beginner bread

The first is that it’s so easy to make, especially if you have a stand mixer. The second is that it’s highly customizable.

Light and fluffy, these Hot Cross Buns are slightly sweet, filled with spices, and make a perfect Good Friday or Easter bread.

The past year has really been all about bread for me. Oh….and the garden. Bread and gardening. And all the highs and lows that have come with both those things. I have made countless loaves of no-knead bread and beer bread. And even occasionally dabbled in the intimidating world of sourdough. (BTW last year I took an online sourdough class at Dig+Co with my mom, and it was great.)  But once I find a bread recipe that works well for me, I’m more likely to rework it into new iterations than to try something completely new. And the first time I...

This is especially true when baking a unique recipe with a specific look like that of tiger bread!
