Fourth Cookbook Coming in 2025
As I’ve talked about a number of occasions, I’m engaged on my fourth cookbook. It’s going to be my largest, most polished e book but: 100 recipes protecting many baking classes like breads, muffins, pies, desserts, cookies, cupcakes, and so on. A handful of recipes might be from my web site, however most (about 75) might be utterly new and unique to the e book. So in between the brand new recipes you discover revealed on my web site, I’ve additionally been testing new recipes for the e book!
Currently I’ve been working my means by the cookie chapter, in addition to the yeasted breads chapter.
The e book might be revealed in 2025. I’m giving myself sufficient time and inventive house to supply my finest work for this undertaking, whereas concurrently conserving my web site up to date with new content material. (And conserving my head on straight.)
Anyway, right here’s a sneak peek at a few of the not too long ago developed cookbook recipes. I promise they’re definitely worth the wait. This isn’t the pictures you’ll see within the e book; these are photographs taken for reference through the testing course of.
Chocolate cherry cookies: A chewy, further fudge-like cookie with a candy maraschino cherry within the middle. And naturally, a beneficiant drizzle of melted chocolate on high. This one took a little bit of testing because the cherry launched quite a lot of liquid and created over-spreading.
This fall-favorite recipe for brown butter pumpkin oatmeal cookies is getting a glow-up for its debut in print, with a bit of sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on high of the brown butter glaze. The toughest half about testing these cookies and rewriting the recipe for the e book was figuring out precisely how a lot moisture you should blot out of the pumpkin… and determining the right way to write that within the directions! (The simplest half was discovering loads of individuals who needed to style check them.)
You could have tried chocolate crinkles, and possibly even lemon crinkles, however ohmygoodness you haven’t actually liked a crinkle cookie till you’ve tried these pistachio crinkles. They virtually soften in your mouth, and style testers RAVED. I’m actually enthusiastic about this new cookie recipe.
Right here’s one other peek at these, earlier than I discovered the right way to get them to correctly crinkle just like the picture above. I had a lot of completely happy pals and neighbors and even my dentist (who else brings cookies to their dentist?!) style check the primary few batches.
I additionally stepped off the crushed cookie path and in a unique course with a savory cookie recipe! These slice-and-bake-style savory cookies are good for including to a cheese and charcuterie board, or just having fun with with a glass of wine. I do know they don’t seem like a lot (that is simply an iPhone picture!), however they’re salty, peppery, herby, and onerous to cease consuming.
And what’s a cookie chapter with out a new vacation cookie recipe?! These chocolate peppermint sandwich cookies embrace a festive peppermint buttercream. Even Santa should wait till the e book comes out to attempt these. Sorry, Santa!
I additionally spent quite a lot of time engaged on a brand new crumb cake-style cookie. These cookies had been an absolute mess after I first began. The crumb topping both (1) unfold in all places or (2) regarded like floor beef. The ultimate recipe you’ll discover within the e book stays properly placed on the cookies, and so they’re much less ground-beefy-looking. LOL. Excuse the blurry picture, this can be a screenshot of a video I took…
You’ll additionally discover these fan-favorite peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies within the e book, too!
Have you ever seen my Instagram tales concerning the strawberry lemon cookie saga? The swirl idea simply wasn’t working; the feel was means off and the lemon taste wasn’t shining by as a lot as I needed. Sooner or later, I had to surrender and transfer on. Nonetheless, you’ll discover one other strawberry lemon cookie and whereas they aren’t swirled, they’re EVEN BETTER… and possibly my favourite new cookie recipe within the e book. I’ve the remainder of my staff testing them this week.
There might be about 15 cookie recipes within the e book, so that is just a bit preview. 🙂
Transferring on to the yeasted bread chapter…
I can’t get sufficient of this cinnamon raisin swirl bread, which I tailored from my do-it-yourself cinnamon swirl bread, with some changes. It’s tremendous smooth, further cinnamon-swirly, and makes probably the most scrumptious cinnamon raisin toast.
I get quite a lot of questions on making do-it-yourself sandwich bread with entire wheat flour, and normally level readers within the course of this multigrain bread. However I’ve a brand new sandwich bread recipe going within the e book that features oats and entire wheat flour, and it’s unbelievably smooth and flavorful.
Proper now, I’ve new recipes for jalapeño cheddar bread and brioche-style sandwich rolls within the works, and also you’ll remember to discover my well-liked pizza dough and smooth pretzel recipes within the e book as properly.
