Apple Raisin Foccacia Rolls

I was feeling like an apple focaccia, and I have a lot of raisins as well. I made apple raisin foccacia rolls/

  

Cinnamon Raisin Focaccia

I bought raisins at Costco - again. I may be working through some recipes with raisins.

 

 

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

I wanted to use my sourdough starter, so made Doug a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread.
I decided to use an improvised Dutch Oven to make a rectangular bread.

Apple Strudel Ebelskivers

I wanted to try a sweet version of the ebelskivers, and apple is supposed to be traditional. This recipe made 35 eblskivers - enough for 5 or 6 people.

Cinnamon Apple Dutch Baby Casserole

 I wanted a breakfast recipe for 7, so decided to try a Cinnamon Apple Dutch Baby Casserole.
(This recipe will probably serve 4 or more, but I doubled the recipe below because we had Alex, Joanne, Ben, Brandi and mu mom with us.)

Baklava Cookie Bars

I wanted to use honey my fried Debby gave me, so I decided to make Baklava Cookie Bars.

Dehydrated Star Fruit Chips

 My friend Carol gave me some star fruit, so I decided to dehydrate them to make some star fruit chips.

  

Chocolate Cinnamon Chouquettes

I wanted to make something round and French to celebrate the last weekend of the Tour de France.

Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake Rolls

I was planning to make a variations of a Gateau du Vully, but I made up extra dough to make these Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake Rolls as well.

Snickerdoodle Bars

I wanted to make an easy snack that Doug would like - I decided to look for a Snickerdoodle Bar recipe.

Chocolate Conchas

Another Saturday, another King Arthur's ExtraOrdinary Bread recipe to try. I made the chocolate version of their Cinnamon Conchas.

Mini King Cakes

One night Doug said he had never hear of King Cakes, and Mardi Gras was coming. I decided to make some mini ones.

Apple Pie Bar

I had some apples I wanted to use up -they were not crisp enough for me.  I found out that they taste quite more delicious when you add butter, sugar, and cinnamon to them!

Balava Cups

We had some honey to use up, so I decide to make some Balava Cups.

Honey Buns

I was planning to make savory snacks for Doug to take to the church worship video recording session, but he suggested I make something with honey on Friday afternoon.  I decided to re-try Honey Buns.  I had some notes for when I made a mini muffin pan version several years ago, but this time decided to go with more doughnut-sized versions.

Cinnamon Apple Swirl Rolls

I have been baking snacks (bribes?) for the video/sound/worship crew, and have been thinking about sourdough cinnamon rolls for a while. I saw a fancy version, which I adapted for these Cinnamon Apple Swirl Rolls, since Doug likes apple fritters. I made a double batch using a soft dough recipe I like.

Oven Baked Plantains

My mom was interested in having some sweet fried plantains for dinner sometime. We got some greenish plantains from the grocery store, and waited a few days for them to turn more yellow and have a few black spots. (We wanted to use medium ripe plantains so they would be sweet.)

Gingerbread Rounds

We were thinking about making a gingerbread house. We had an old kit, but it was too old to use. I made up some dough to make a house, but we got busy. We made gingerbread rounds instead.

Blueberry French Toast Casserole

The Youth wanted to bake as part of the Lock In activities, so I found a new-to-me recipe for a blueberry French toast casserole that we could prepare the night before. It turned out yummy!

Chocolate Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bars

I modified a recipe a smidge to use up leftover Halloween candy and excess sour cream (mistaken for cottage cheese at Costco). It is Chocolate Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bars, and is not recommended for diabetics.
