Let's all have our cake and eat it too!
I interview a friend who is an avid bike rider and cake maker. I realized after the interview, that I'm sticking with bread baking where you don't have to separate eggs, make a lemon curd, then the cakes, then cut them with a cake wire, then add the curd, then make and frost the actual cakes, putting it all together without having a cake slide. Oh, and they say learning to bake bread is hard. But maybe some of you are more adventurous than I and want to try your hand at cake baking.
Aileen obtained the recipe from Bon Appetit magazine in 1994, so a vintage recipe that will never go out of style.
Lemon Curd-3 cups of strained lemon juice, 2 cups of unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of grated lemon peel stove top medium heat until butter melts. In a separate bowl, whisk together 12 large egg yolks, 8 large eggs, 3 1/2 cups of sugar. Gradually add in hot lemon mixture whisking vigorously until thick and smooth about 5-10 minutes. Do not boil. Chill overnight and can freeze it too.
Cake-preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of 8 and 9 inch cake pans with 2 inch high sides with waxed paper. 8 cups of sifted cake flour, 4 tsp of baking powder, 3 tsp of baking soda, 2 tsp of salt-combine. Make in a separate container beat 2 cups of unsalted butter at room temperature in mixer gradually adding in 4 cups of sugar, then add in 10 large egg yolks one yolk at a time, beat in 2 Tablespoons of lemon peel, 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract, then at a low speed, gradually add in the 4 cups of buttermilk.
Beat 10 egg whites with 1tsp of cream of tartar until medium peaks form. Fold 1/2 of beaten egg whites into cake batter to lighten it, fold in remaining egg whites. Spoon batter into pans. Bake about 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Frosting- 3 cups (24 oz) of cream cheese, at room temperature, 2 cups of unsalted butter at room temperature, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of whipping cream.
Return to the cakes, make sure they are cool, then slice each cake twice to produce three layers. HIC Kitchen Mrs. Anderson's Baking Adjustable Cake Slicer & Leveler 781723436887 | eBay. Amazon.com: 2PCS DIY Cake Slicer , Stratification Auxiliary , Bread Slice , Toast Cut, 5 Layers Leveler Slicer , Kitchen Fixator Tool (2, Green): Home & Kitchen
Put the cakes on a cardboard cut out, while working with them. Layer in the lemon curd and blackberry jam. Then add in the lemon curd integrated with 2 1/4 cups of blackberry jam.
Frost the cakes and refrigerate them.
Happy egg separating and baking!

Interview with two House of Bread bakers share their experiences and offer tips.
Char and Michelle are two bakers at McKinney House of Bread. I chose to interview them because they are both had no formal baking education or commercial baking experience and are yet, excellent high-volume bakers. Both came from different prior professions but were passionate about their home baking and wanted to take it to the next level. Maybe you could too, and we are hiring!

Sugar, we know how sweet it is but where does it come from and how can we adjust the amount in recipes?
Sweeteners are one of the most important ingredients used in bakery foods. They serve many purposes, from adding sweetness to baked goods, providing structure, retaining moisture, contributing to crust color, extending shelf life and facilitating the fermentation process to being a whipping and creaming aid.
Suggestions to reduce, is do it bit by bit to avoid compromising texture and flavor. But, it is easy to delete any added sugars on top.
To make powdered sugar, you’ll blend granulated sugar and cornstarch (known as cornflour in some areas). Blend the sugar and cornstarch until it becomes fine — this will take around 4 to 5 minutes. Stop blending, and then give it a stir with a spatula to make sure all of the granulated white sugar is getting blended. Want to make powdered sugar but don’t have any cornstarch? No worries, as long as you are using your powdered sugar right away. Simply make this recipe without the cornstarch! 1 cups granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch). Just think 16 to 1, which is the same portions we use for cinnamon rolls but brown sugar 16 and cinnamon the 1.

Croutons. Transform stale bread into a tasty, crunchy salad topping, or just a scrumptious snack.
In an empty large salad size mixing bowl, add the below. Let the mixture soak in the olive Oil, while you cut the bread. Cut bread in strips one way, then across to make 1/2 inch cubes. The below recipe is designed for 1.5-2# of bread. All breads soak up the seasoned olive oil mixture differently, but you'll need a full large loaf. Or if you only have half of a loaf, then you can make the seasoned olive oil mixture and save 1/2 of it to use later. It will last for months on the counter, and makes a great base for a stir fry or salad dressing.
Olive Oil ¼ cup
Dried Basil 3 Tablespoons, or 6 leaves of fresh basil finely chopped
Garlic Powder 1 Tablespoons
Ground Rosemary 1 tsp, may sub thyme or herbs of choice
Salt 2 tsp
Pepper 1 tsp
Cut up two pounds of bread cubes. Add the bread cubes, and toss to combine. There should be the seasoned oil mixture coating on all the bread cubes but not too much oil. You do not want the bread crumbs to get soaked in oil. Too much oil will prevent a nice crunchy crouton, and too little is a flavorless crouton. I would toss by hand to get a real feel for the amount of bread cubes to add. There should be no oil left over in the bottom of the bowl, and a slight residue on your hands.
Spread the oiled croutons onto a cookie sheet into an evenly distributed one layer. Do not double croutons on top of each other or they won’t bake properly.
Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes, then flip the croutons with a spatula, bake another ten minutes. Depending upon the oven, may need to add another couple of minutes. The croutons should be crunchy but not that hard.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Braided Loaf
Delicious combination of fresh strawberries, cream cheese with a white based yeasted bread as the base.
I suggest the Grandma’s white recipe for the dough that is below and discussed with more detail in episode five. After the first rising process divide the dough in 1/3s. Flatten out each part in half, about the size of a piece of paper.
Spread ¼ cup of cream cheese down the middle spread the dough about 2 ½ inches wide. Top the cream cheese with ¼ cup of freshly sliced strawberries. Make parallel cuts about 2 inches long at a 45 degree angle down each side of the dough, ¾ to an inch apart.
Take one strip at a time from alternating sides and bring them across the center to the other side. Tuck in the ends and add a few strawberries on top for looks.
1 1/2 cups of warm water (approximately 100 degrees)
2 packages or one and 3/4 tablespoons of active dry yeast
4 cups of unbleached flour (approximately a pound)
1/4 cup of honey
1T of salt.

Taking care of your sourdough starter.
When in doubt don't throw it out. Refresh, by discarding half of it, and especially any of the smelly, colorful chunks-then just add about the same amount of volume of flour and water. Your starter is stronger than you think, just got to help the good bacteria out by getting rid of the bad bacteria.

Irish Soda Bread, bring a little luck to the table on St. Patrick's Day
This recipe will yield two loaves.
2 ½ cups of white all purpose or pastry flour (can use gold whole wheat for Irish Brown Soda Bread)
3 Tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of caraway seeds (optional)
Measure out dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix them thoroughly together.
¼ cup of cold butter
Cube butter into small pieces and cut into dry ingredients with fingertips until it resembles pea size crumbles. Add in raisins and mix together:
1/2 cup of golden raisins (may substitute regular raisins or currants)
In large pitcher or use well method.
1 cup of buttermilk. Can not substitute milk, well you can but you have to add a T lemon juice. The acid found in buttermilk reacts to bases — most commonly baking soda — creating carbon dioxide gas.
2 eggs
Whisk the egg/buttermilk together and then add in your dry ingredients. Using your hands, mix until flour holds together like a biscuit or scone dough, not a cookie dough. Cut dough into two equal parts. Place on well sprayed cookie sheet and cut a cross shape on top. Egg wash the top, by scrambling one egg and brushing it on top. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes at 350 degree oven.
Happy Baking everyone! If you wish to learn more about the scone method of baking that is used to make Irish Soda Bread, then here is a link to the muffin/scone baking class. Baking Class – Quick Breads, Muffins and Scones – House of Bread

Sprouted Grain, not to be baked like Ezekiel did in the Bible.
To sprout or not to sprout? Why not, as it is pretty consistent that adding some sprouts to your diet is good for you and you don't need to bake over any dung. The soaking and sprouting process enriches the wheat, which in turn ups the levels of nutrients and lowers carbohydrates. Sprouted grains are more easily digested, and the nutrients are better absorbed. 7 Great Reasons to Add Sprouted Grain Bread to Your Diet (healthline.com). 7 Great Reasons to Add Sprouted Grain Bread to Your Diet (healthline.com)
Sprouting Wheat Berries:
Step 1: rinse 3/4 cup wheat berries in water. Then place wheat berries in a quart-size jar or other container that will allow for added water and sprouts to double in size. Fill with water about an inch or two over the wheat berries, cover with a cloth lid. You can either leave it on the counter and return 8-10 hours later or you can put the soaking wheat berries overnight in the refrigerator.
Step 2: drain the water and rinse the berries. Pour the berries into a colander for draining and rinsing, and then repeat the rinsing and draining until you see little sprouts emerge from the berries. Let the spouts grow to between 1/8 and 1/4 inch. The entire process should take 2-3 days from the start of the soak. We use the refrigerator at the bakery because it is easier for the baker to manage the sprouts, but at home, you can shorten the process if you leave it on the counter.
Step 3: store the sprouted berries in your refrigerator, drained, for up to 5-7 days.
SPONGE:
2 ½ cups of warm water
2 packages of active dry yeast
3/4 cup of honey.
2 and 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour (freshly milled, high protein bread flour is preferred)
First, proof the yeast then add the remaining above ingredients, mix until the ingredients are fully combined. However, this is not your kneading stage, so do not mix for more than a couple of minutes. Cover with a damp towel and place the bowl in a warm place (70-75 degrees), for two hours.
TWO HOURS LATER preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray your loaf pans or large sheet pan.
SECOND MIXING
1 package of active dry yeast
3 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (add only 3 cups and hold back on the ½ cup of flour until you start kneading)
1 Tablespoon of salt.
After a few minutes of kneading and you are close to the good dough stage than add in your sprouts. Continue to knead while working in the 1 1/3 cups of sprouts. The sprouts will add some moisture and if you need to add some of that 1/2 cup of flour you held back. However, be very cautious about adding too much flour as whole grain flours take longer to absorb the moisture.

Croissants, a flaky buttery treat!
I covered a double recipe for 48 croissants in the episode. I'm including a more home based size that will yield 24 croissants.
Step One
1 # 8 0z or 5 1/2 cups of white bread flour
1/2# of cold butter or 1 cup
1 Tablespoon of Salt
2 1/2 cups of cold water.
MIx the flour and butter until it looks like cornmeal. Add the salt to the water, stir well, then add it to the flour/butter mixture. Mix again until smooth.
Turn out dough into a flat surface that is lightly floured. Hand shape it into a square shape about 1 thick. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2, preparing the butter mixture.
1 cup of white bread flour
3 3/4 cups butter that is slightly soft.
Combine until smooth. Flatten it out into a square about 3/4 inch thick. Cover the butter with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for over 30 minutes.
Step 3 Rolling and Folding.
Remove the first dough from the refrigerator and gently roll it into a square about a 1/2 thick. Put the butter square in the center of the dough. Fold the flaps of the dough over the butter, until they meet in the middle and cover the butter. Pinch and seal the edges together. Turn over and start rolling it out into a rectangle shape. Fold up like a letter with the bottom third up to the center and the top third over on top of each other. Roll out again and repeat the procedure. You are getting the butter into folds in the dough to get the flaky texture.
Chill again for thirty minutes and repeat the procedure above until you end up with six turns.
Put dough back in refrigerator for at least an hour.
Step Four Shaping.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about a 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough lengthwise and then in half until you get 12 4x9 inch pieces. Cut each piece in half diagonally and arrange the points of the triangle facing away from you. Cut a 1/2 inch on the short end or bottom of the triangle. Roll up starting with the notched edges. Shape in a crescent by bending the two eds towards the middle.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and then turn down the oven to 350 degrees and bake for another 15.

Cranberry Orange Holiday dinner rolls or bread
There is something special about the combination of orange and cranberry. This dough is bursting with both, which is why we call it orange cranberry burst. These are the dinner rolls on my table for the holidays. We also make French toast out of the loaves of orange cranberry burst, that makes breakfast the start of the holiday festivities.

Halloween pies-the Berry Scary Pie and the Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin Pie
A delightful festive twist on the basic pie recipe of a mixed berry and pumpkin pie.
Pie Crust yield two crusts.
2 ½ cups of pastry flour
1 Tablepoon of granulated sugar
1 tsp of salt
1 cup of cold butter
½ cup of cold water.
Roll out the dough, take your pie pan and put it upside down on just cut about ½ inch around it u
Jack O' Lantern Pumpkin Pie for two pumpkin pies.
Mix in a bowl 2 eggs and 1½ cups milk, can be whole or skim. Can also substitute nut milks.
Add in 15 oz. of pumpkin puree. Note, not pumpkin pie filling that may come in a can. You can also make your own pumpkin, which I discussed in my pumpkin bread podcast.
Mix thoroughly the ingredients, and then in a separate container mix the following:
½ cup white sugar, ½ tsp. salt, 1 tsp ginger, ½ tsp. nutmeg, ½ tsp cinnamon.
Then combine the ingredients.
Pour into the pie shells.
Bake 80 minutes at 350 degrees, and take the internal temperature of the pie and it should get to 175 degrees, and we go a little over as many people assume the pie isn’t done if it jiggles too much, but that’s the temp the internet says pie is done. That being said, I like it to be 180 degrees.
While the pie is still hot add the Jack O'Lantern look.
In a microwave safe container, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with a Tablespoon of butter and microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted. Put in a small plastic bag, cut the end off one tip to allow you to draw in about an inch chocolate triangles for the eyes, nose, and then triangles alternating for the mouth. Please visit the Pumpkin Pie Jack O’lantern short video on Youtube. https://youtu.be/P9kw2Xb5Hyc
For one Berry Scary Pie,
Mix 3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. pastry flour
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp of salt
Then toss in 4 cups of fruit, I recommend 2 cups of blueberries and 2 cups of raspberries. If you are using frozen, then thaw the fruit and drain. Place in pie shell and cover your pie as usual with the other pie dough. Then you cut 8 slits about a couple of inches long so that it looks like there is a swampy. Then the hand is coming out of the pie.
Make your fingers, with also a big thumb. Use a blueberry and smash it into the dough tip. Four fingers lined up together that are coming out of the pie, then add the thumb coming in where a thumb would be if the hand was coming out of the pie-across from the ring finger. Egg wash and bake for 80 minutes, until crust is golden and internal temp reaches past 180 degrees.

Nutritional Info
Servings Per 3 OZ (AVERAGE SLICE SIZE) Calories: 157.5 Total Fat: 6.3 g Cholesterol: 13.5 mg Sodium: 199.3 mg Total Carbs: 23.6 gSpelt Bread, a nutritionally dense delicious loaf that is great for people who are gluten sensitive.
Even though Spelt is recommended for gluten sensitive folks, I love it and I also love gluten! So, give it a try even though you may be just fine with the natural amount of gluten in breads. I always try to add it tastes great, because I know we don't want to eat okay bread, just because it is healthy. I promise this loaf is both good for you and good tasting.
This is a whole grain spelt bread and we use the sponge method. This recipe is going to yield about 3 pounds of dough. Enough for a couple of loaves, or some dinner rolls, baguettes or whatever shape you want.
SPONGE:
2 ½ cups of warm water (approximately 100 degrees)
2 packages of active dry yeast
3/4 cup of honey that is approximately room temperature
2 and 1/2 cups of whole spelt flour (if you wish to use spelt white flour, then follow the Grandma’s White recipe)
Cover with a damp towel, for 1.5 hours.
1.5 hours later, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray your loaf pans or large sheet pan.
SECOND MIXING
1 package of active dry yeast
3 ½ cups whole spelt flour
1 Tablespoon of salt.
OPTIONAL: You can add a ½ cup of nuts, seeds, grains, raisins etc... Just remember no more than ½ cup of add ins total, and they should be added at the end of the good dough stage.

Yield about 2 dozen medium sized cookies.
. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened not melted1 cup crunchy or smooth peanut butter
· 1 cup white sugar
· 1 cup packed brown sugar.
· 2 eggs
· 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour-prefer not a high protein bread flour to get less gluten development.
· 1 teaspoon baking powder
· ½ teaspoon salt
· 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
· Optional 2 tsp of cinnamon.
Directions
· Step 1
Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars together in a bowl; beat in eggs.
· Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir into butter mixture. Put dough in refrigerator for 1 hour. Refrigerating the dough before baking will help inhibit spread because the butter is colder, and takes longer to melt.
· Step 3
· Roll dough into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern. Option to sprinkle the tops with salt or sugar for an extra kick of flavor. Put in indent of a fork then turn sideways and indent again. It is only for looks but marks a traditional peanut butter cookie.
Option to make a Peanut butter blossom cookie (peanut butter cookie with Hershey's kiss in center)
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 12-16 minutes depending upon your dough ball size. Look for a slightly tan color at the edges.
Everyone burns cookies in the bakery. Why because you really have to take them out when they are not fully baked as they continue baking on the sheet. So, when they are close to being fully baked, you really want to check them every minute.
FLOURLESS GF PB COOKIES( 15 cookies)
5 eggs
5 cups of brown sugar
Mix at a high speed until the batter thickens up and is fluffy. This is key as if you don’t mix long enough, the cookies will not hold together.
Add the below ingredients and mix until combined and creamy
5 Tablespoons of cinnamon
2 Tablespoons of vanilla
1 Tablespoon of salt
5 cups of peanut butter.
Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, put eight dough balls on to a lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Do not flatten the dough now, or will baking as it will spread too much.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, dependent upon your dough ball size. The edges should be slightly firm and the tops should still be soft and doughy. As all cookies, they stiffen up as they cool.

SHOW Notes:
In this episode, Sheila covers pie baking, with recipes for fruit pies and various topping options.

For our Utube channel, please go here https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCXH5NgT8vpnAuSuZN5AxEQQ. There is a good video on making a lattice top on www.allrecipe.comunder the blueberry pie recipe.
Recipe yields four pie shells.
5 cups of all-purpose flour.
2 Tablespoon of white granulated sugar.
2 tsp of salt.
Mix the sugar, salt and flour BEFORE adding in the butter, which just helps you not over mix the dough and disperses the sugar and salt evenly.
2 cups of COLD butter.
Pulse the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse peas.
Once your mixture is crumbly slowly be prepared to add 1 cup of COLD water mix until the dough forms a ball and comes off the sides of the bowl. It may come into a ball without needing to add the entire amount of water, which is why you want to add slowly. Or you may need to add another Tablespoon or two of water. All environments have different moisture contents and we measure differently.
Take the dough out of the bowl and divide into four. Refrigerate the dough discs while you work on the filling.
2 Fruit Pies
Mix together:
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of salt
Mix the above before adding in 8 cups of fruit- blueberries/strawberries/cranberries/apples/rhubarb/peaches/pears, which is 4 cups for each pie. Place in prepared crust, add 1 Tablespoon of butter for each pie. Either top with another crust, make a lattice top, or add the crumble mixture.
Country Topping for two pies:
2 cup of pastry flour
2 cup of oats
2/3 tsp salt
2 cup of brown sugar
2 tsp powder
Cut in 2 cups of COLD butter into pea size shape, can also just use a cheese grater. Mix the ingredients until incorporated and add on top.
You want to egg wash the entire pie with just an egg and some water, doesn’t have to be cold water. Lastly, if you do a traditional pie with a full crust on top, you will need some cuts on top in order to release steam. Make your small slits in each quadrant.
Optional after the egg washing to add a little sugar on top, just sprinkle like snow.
Regardless of what type of pie you are making, it needs to be on a baking sheet because the filling often spills over and it’s just a mess. Most pies will take 50-65 minutes at 400 degrees, just check it after 45 minutes and add time as needed. The crust should be golden and the internal temp is 185 degrees.
Lemon Bread
This loaf has nice blend of sweetness with a hint of sourness. A creamier pound cake with a more complex citrus flavor.
3 ½ cups of flour-pastry or all purpose
2 ¼ cups of white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of baking soda
3/4 tsp of baking powder
Zest of one lemon.
Mix together in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl combine the following ingredients:
4 Eggs
1 cup and 2 T of buttermilk ( this will produce a more moist loaf that just milk). If you don’t have buttermilk, add a T of lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes)
¾ cup of melted butter
2Tablespoon of lemon juice
1 Tablespoon of lemon extract
Combine wets and dries together and fold in one cup of shredded zucchini. Scoop into well-greased baking pans or muffin cups. Fill the pans ¾ full as to allow room to rise during the bake. Bake loaves at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes. Muffins are smaller and will bake quicker, set the timer for 4O minutes and add time as needed.

Artisan Hard Crusted Sourdough
Day one:
2 cups of sourdough starter, 1 1/3 cups of white bread flour.
Pour sourdough starter in a mixing bowl or large bucket. Add 1 cup of flour and mix with yours hands until combined. Continue adding the additional flour to reach the 1 1/3 cups of flour a little at a time until a dough ball forms. The dough should be sticky but still form into a ball. If it is so wet that it is difficult to get the mixture into a ball, add a Tablespoon of flour then continue to mix for couple of minutes. Give the dough a couple of minutes of stirring because it may take time to absorb the water. You really are not kneading the dough, more stirring it in the bowl with your hands because it will be very sticky. The dough should end up smooth and elastic. Put into a container, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Day two:
Remove starter from fridge and let sit for 4 hours. Add 1 cup of tap water and stir until combined. Add more water, if needed to make a smooth, thick, pourable starter. It looks similar to the regular sourdough starter. Add:
1 tsp yeast
1/3 cup of white bread flour
Stir until all ingredients are combined. Cover with towel and let sit on counter overnight.
Day three:
Mix the following ingredients together in a mixer bowl or you can hand knead the dough too:
All the starter from day two
1 cup room temp water
1 tsp salt
3 ½ cups of white bread flour
1 Tablespoon honey
Mix on medium speed two for 5-8 minutes. Add more water or flour to reach the correct consistency. Put dough in plastic bucket or container and let proof for 2 hours, then refrigerate overnight.
Day four:
Take the dough out of fridge and let it sit there for a few hours, to get it closer to room temperature. Divide dough into three pieces and shape into round loaves. Let proof for 2 hours. While proofing, the dough will need to be covered with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from crusting. Egg Wash and just prior to baking, make a cross on top of dough. Bake at 400 degree oven on baking sheets. Spray the oven heavily with a spray bottle or throw a glass of water on the oven shelf to produce steam. Bake until dark golden brown. Time will depend on ovens. Start with 30 minutes and then check every 5 minutes for doneness. Towards the end the bread bakes very quickly and will need to be checked more often.

Buttermilk Bran Muffins, a nutritional powerhouse and they are an incredibly delicious way to start the day!
This recipe yields six muffin.
1 cup of flour-pastry or all purpose
1 cup of bran
1 cup of whole wheat flour, gold or white wheat if you got it.
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1 Tablespoon and 1 ½ tsp of baking powder
Mix together in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl combine the following ingredients:
2 Eggs
1 cup and 2 T of buttermilk, you need buttermilk to use with the baking soda to leaven the product, If not, then substitute a cup of milk, 1 T and 1 T lemon juice or white vinegeger. LET STAND TEN MINUTES to allow the milk to become curdled.
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/3 cup of honey
Combine wets and dries together until incorporated. Do not over mix as you will strengthen the gluten and the muffins will be tough and dense.
Fold in ¾ cup of raisins or cranberries. Then scoop into well-greased muffin tins. The mixture should be less than even with the muffin tins as they will grow in the oven. Everyone loves a nice muffin top but overfilled muffins fuse together and make separation as well as clean up, a nightmare. Bake at 350 degrees and set the timer for 2O minutes and add time as needed. The bran muffins store well frozen. You can also save half the batter and bake off the next day. It holds up way better than the other muffin recipes but there still will be some deflating of the leaving action, so the product is a bit denser to the discerning pallet. Most people will hardly know the difference. So, if you have time constraints and want to make this batter in advance, then you certainly can without same degree of compromise in flavor/taste as you would get with let’s say my blueberry muffin recipe.

Hot Cross Buns, celebrate Good Friday with a little sweet and a bit of spice-all deliciously rolled up.
The traditional Hot Cross bun goes way back in history to the start of the AD period. Sheila gives you the House of Bread traditional recipe and some suggestions for creating your own tradition. Hot Cross buns have more butter and more eggs, than traditional dinner rolls that produces a slightly denser roll (but not heavy!). These are more of a dessert/breakfast roll but they are not that sweet as an option to serve with dinner.
Recipe Yields 2 1/2 pounds of dough or roughly 12-16 hot cross buns, depending upon the size you want your bun)
½ cup of water
½ cup of milk
Heat the water and the milk together in the microwave until it is very warm but not burning hot. It should feel like warm bath water.
2 packages or one and 3/4 tablespoons of active dry yeast
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 lemon zested and juiced. Zest the entire outside of the lemon and the squeeze the juice into the bowl.
2 T of melted butter
1 egg
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg and all spice (about ¼ teaspoon, and if you don’t have one or the other just use one kind).
Optional: ½ tsp of cardamom or 1/2 tsp of ginger.
1 T of salt
Stir all the ingredients together before adding the flour in order to evenly distribute the flavors.
4 cups of unbleached flour (bread flour, high protein)
Add at the end of the kneading when you have the good dough stage:
1 cup of raisins.
Note: On the raisins, if you want to substitute currants, or golden raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries do so to your taste but no more than one cup total.
FROSTING:
1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, tsp vanilla or almond extract then add milk until you get a thick pancake batter type consistency.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes.
Happy Baking, and Happy Easter everyone! Thanks for listening.

Easter Bread, Pane di Pasqua.
· 2 T white vinegar
· Liquid food coloring, your choice of colors I like pink, light greens, light purple, light green-the softer colors of Easter.
· 3 cups boiling water
· 6 raw eggs left in shell.
Another thing you can do, is put the raw eggs in a muffin tin and bake them and you’ll have hard baked eggs, same thing, then pop them in water that doesn’t have to boil. That way you can more easily do multiple colors.
Dough:
1 1/2 cups of water.
1 cup of milk. Add together and heat up to warm, but not burning hot.
2 packages or one and 3/4 Tablespoons of active dry yeast.
6 cups of unbleached bread flour.
2 cups of whole-wheat flour. I prefer stone ground white whole wheat flour.
1/2 cup of butter that is very soft but not melted.
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
1/3 cup of honey.
1 1/2 Tablespoons of salt.
2 large eggs
1 lemon zested, and then add the juice to the mix.
Egg wash and bake for 40 minutes, check to see if done and continue baking until temp reaches 181.
Happy Easter Baking!

We don’t frost the loaves either after coming out of the oven. For King Cakes, we frost than add the colored sugars of yellow, purple and green. The colors signify yellow/gold for power, green for justice and purple for faith. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until the bread reaches 180 degrees.
For King's Cake, paint on a layer of powdered sugar/vanilla and water.
1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon of vanilla
Add a tablespoon of water at a time to get a runny pancake batter consistency.
Sprinkle each segment liberally with yellow, green and then purple sugars. You alternate each color.
