The Super Soft Homemade Pretzel

As a dad, I’ve put in plenty of time at my kids’ hockey games. Without fail, after every game, both my sons love to indulge in the rink food court’s pretzels. They are not good, so we came up with our own recipe. To the uninitiated, making pretzels seems complicated, but it’s actually a pretty an easy way to learn the basics of bread-making. With a simple dough that comes together in minutes, the rest of the process is similar to making homemade bagels: shape, submerge, bake, snack. In the case of super soft pretzels, rather than boiling them, they...

If you’ve got children (or an adult who acts like a child), at this point you’re probably open to just about anything to keep them busy while spending all this extended time indoors – why not put them in the drivers seat while cooking your next meal?

It’s fun, educational, and will get them started on a skill many of us wish we’d take up earlier in life. This week on the blog we’ve got a feature on our dude Max, a junior #anovafoodnerd from the UK is cooking up brisket that goes toe-to-toe with anyone, no matter the age. Sous Vide “Smoked” Brisket What you need: One large piece of trimmed brisket Liquid Smoke 1tbsp Garlic Powder 1tbsp Onion Powder 1tbsp Paprika (hot or mild) 1tbsp Kosher Salt 1tsp Black Pepper Two springs of fresh thyme Four cloves of garlic Large Knob of butter Step by...

If You Love The Cheesecake Factory’s Brown Bread, You Need to Make This Copycat Recipe ASAP

Of all the restaurants that serve bread as a free appetizer, The Cheesecake Factory's brown bread is THE best. It has that fluffy, warm, and savory aspect that you get from any delicious bread, but it's also got a little bit of sweetness (thanks, honey and molasses!). It goes great with savory options like soup, cheese, and butter, but it's also amazing with a drizzle of honey. And, of course, you can just eat it plain as I shamelessly did about 10 minutes after it came out of the oven. Seriously, it's SO good, and if you haven't tried to...

The perfect blend of sweet and spice, enjoy these classic Hot Cross Buns this Easter season

Topped with a cross and optional glaze. The best addition to your holiday table. I love bread probably more than the usual person, but heaven help me when it comes to Hot Cross Buns. So so addicting! I’m not sure if its the blend of spices, the lightly sweet and sticky glaze, the orange zest or the combination of all three that really takes these over the top but man are they good. Based off of my White Bread Recipe, these rolls are soft, airy and unforgettable. What are Hot Cross Buns? Hot Cross Buns are a type of spiced...
