New York-Style Crumb Cake

Annalise — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:47:16 +0000

Crumb cake, which is not to be confused with good ole streusel-topped coffee cake, has been around for ages and ages. In New York, it arrived in the late 1800s, when the German immigrants started sharing their recipe for krummel kuchen. New York bakeries started making their own version, using a traditional yeasted Danish dough, [...]

The Best Homemade Deep Dish Pizza Crust

Annalise — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:48:23 +0000

Deep dish pizza, especially homemade deep dish pizza, is one of those things that literally oozes with satisfaction. To me, the perfect deep dish pizza crust has a slightly crisp outside edge, but a gooey, chewy, tender all around crust. I’ve tried about ten different deep dish pizza recipes in the last few years and [...]

Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies

Annalise — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:01:08 +0000

Valentine’s Day always provides a good excuse for baking. So this year, I made a bunch of sugar cookies. I’ll be the first to admit that sugar cookies are not my forte. They have either been too thin, too dense, too flavorless, or the icing is just not right. So this time, I set out [...]

My husband and I have been eating a lot less meat recently. It’s part of our overall goal to become healthier, and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. But, we still have those cravings ever now and again. For me, a big winter craving is my easy pot roast recipe. This pot roast is so simple that [...]

One of my favorite breads to have around the house is this Quizno’s flat bread copycat recipe. If you’ve ever had a Quizno’s “Sammy” and loved the bread, then this is the recipe you’ll want to make at home.

Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon Rolls

Annalise — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:23:49 +0000

Anyone who regularly reads food blogs has heard of Pioneer Woman. She’s been in the food blog scene for a long time and she has wrangled herself plenty of fans. As I have been on a mission to find the most perfect cinnamon roll recipe, I thought I would try the one that fans [...]

Really Yummy Winter Vegetables

Annalise — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:50:59 +0000

I made this dish for Thanksgiving, as I already had made a smorgasboard of food. This year, instead of making my mashed sweet potatoes, I wanted to do something a little more colorful. Taking a break from my usual recipe, I nabbed this inspiration from the November 2009 Food and Wine magazine. Making this recipe is [...]

Homemade Pear Tart – Another Version

Annalise — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:40:30 +0000

We have a giant pear tree, and awhile back, I posted one pear tart recipe, which was really, really tasty. But for Thanksgiving, I wanted to do something a little different, since I already had made a pecan pie, and the previous tart had more of a “pie” type crust. Instead of using a traditional crust, [...]

60-minute Dinner Rolls

One of my favorite food blogs to read is The Cast Iron Darling. So when one her recent posts linked to a recipe for one of my utmost weaknesses, dinner rolls, I was intrigued. I *love* good dinner rolls. In fact, my very first post here at Knead To Be Loaved was a dinner roll [...]

The Perfect Homemade Pecan Pie Recipe

Annalise — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:39:03 +0000

As a child, I never enjoyed pecan pie. It was full of nuts and that, to my child brain, meant it was somehow healthy. Little did I know that pecan pie is sweet, salty, syrupy, and oh-so-delish. So when I got older, I started to enjoy pecan pie. But not all of the time. I’ve had [...]
