The crust on just about any loaf of bread is often the most important part for two reasons: it’s nutritious and flavorful. Jam packed with all sorts of healthy vitamins and minerals, each bite will reveal deeper, more complex, and tastier flavors. Of this there is no room for argument amongst bakers across the globe. However, try expressing…
Is it worth investing in a genuine pizza stone or will a modest pizza pan do? Is there even a difference in terms of the end result between the two? These two commonly asked questions essentially capture all there is when comparing pizza pans with pizza stones. Now I strongly believe that the two aren’t…
I love baking with yeast. I love the smell, the consistency, the taste – and not the least all the happy faces of the people around me when it comes to warm, home-baked yeast bread on the table. Making yeast bread is first and foremost about time, patience, good and natural ingredients and a little…

Cooking ribs in an apartment is intimidating and supposedly messy, or so I thought. This recipe is actually super simple and easy, you only need patience and plenty of time, no extra skills required. Ah, and a good barbecue sauce! For these ribs I made a trip to the local butcher shop and I suggest…
I’ve been trying and testing recipes for weeks now so it was about time to post something new on the blog as well. Considering its almost winter, well, at least here in Norway and also a lazy Sunday morning, I think chocolate Boller sounds perfect. One thing I forgot to mention is that the special…
So, you’ve reached that point in life where you’re not intimidated anymore by baking bread! Congratulations. That’s probably the main and one of the few benefits (if we can call it that?) of the annoying Covid-19. Everyone learned to bake; out of boredom, out of necessity, does it even matter? I’m proud to say that…
Most people I know (my past self included) take a step back when you talk to them about making their own doughs. Bread, pie, croissants (actually, there are good reasons to think twice before embarking on the journey of making croissants, I should know better), pizza, cinnamon rolls and so on. I get it, working…
I’m not proud to admit that until a few years ago, I was one of those people that threw away ripe bananas. That was until I educated myself and found out that ripe bananas are actually awesome in baked goods. Actually, if your bananas aren’t ripe enough, you shouldn’t even try to make banana bread….
Who’s ready for a tea party? I know I am! I first made this delicious apple cake last week and I’ve already made it twice since then. I was seriously craving some apple pie but had no milk, sour cream or yoghurt, and apparently you can’t bake a nice apple pie without any of those….
Many people neglect the most important part in making a pizza: baking. Several things like the dough and the quality of the ingredients are important but any good cook knows that the most crucial part is the baking. It is during this step that we distinguish the good from the perfect pizza. What is a pizza peel?…
Traditionally, pizza is cooked over a wood fire or over charcoal in a stone oven. This is what gives it its legendary texture, soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. To obtain the same result at home with an oven or a barbecue, the use of a pizza stone also called a baking stone is necessary. Thanks to…
Remember my Double Chocolate Nutella Muffins or my Jumbo Blueberry Muffins? I love baking muffins, probably even more than I love eating them. Baking is science, everyone knows that – add the right amount of ingredients, bake them at a specific temperature and congratulations, you’re a baker. But somehow, when I’m baking muffins, I feel like…
I love muffins in all sizes and flavors, it’s no secret. Even if my favorite muffins will always be chocolate muffins, because I am a complete chocoholic, I am not a snob. I eat all kind of muffins. Maybe too much sometimes. On this lazy Sunday evening I had to bake something – after a…
Muffins, especially chocolate muffins will always be my first love and I will always have a soft spot for them. Chocolate muffins are the first thing I ever baked. They are so easy to make and you can basically add everything you want in them. Everything, I’m not joking. Did you know that you can…
In the last couple of weeks I’ve been pretty busy doing absolutely nothing. So when I started to feel guilty enough, I decided that baking a cheesecake from scratch was a good punishment for my lazy behavior. Baking a cheesecake is super tricky, it can only go two ways – complete failure or absolute perfection….
I made this pie dough yesterday and was planning on baking a blueberry pie today. But since yesterday I couldn’t help myself but bake a batch of blueberry muffins, I decided I just couldn’t bake a blueberry pie today, so I just went to the store and buy some Lady Pink apples. This is the…
The idea of marbling two different colored batters into a cake originated in nineteenth century Germany. Marble cakes made their way to America with German immigrants before the Civil War. Originally the cakes were marbled with molasses and spices. One of the first recorded recipes for marble cake appears in an American cookbook called Aunt…
I’ve never been a fan of pretzels when I was a child. I could barely eat one and I couldn’t understand how anyone could like something so boring – it was practically bread. With some salt. And just a bit of sesame – there was never enough sesame. So years have passed and while I…
If you love chocolate as much as I do, or as much as the rest of the world does, you will love these fudgy Nutella chocolate brownies! They’re really easy to make, you don’t need anything that you probably don’t already have in your kitchen and there’s not much of a mess to clean up…
