2023 Edition - What are you baking?

[Meryl]

Apple pie.

Half of it has already gone!

 

[Andy M.]

Chocolate chip cookies with walnuts.

I made a batch of Flourless Chocolate Muffins this afternoon. They were easy to make and are very good too. I used my Danish Whisk to mix them. Easy enough. NOTE: They make a lot more than 12! I made 14 and they turned into Jumbo muffins. I suggest 18 to 24 is a better target.

I baked a loaf of potato WW/rye bread today, in between making the cookie dough, which I started with a sponge last night.

@pepperhead212 That looks textbook perfect!

Focaccia with spinach and mozzarella. (I had previously boiled and then tossed the spinach in olive oil with chopped onions).

Another loaf of potato rye, which I started a couple days ago. I don't like to make those usual dishes I make, loaded with onions, garlic, and spices when I'm preparing those cookies, since the aromas can permeate, and sandwiches are something good to have around, along with some greens around, along with some fruits. As soon as the cookies are out of the way, I can get back to my usual cooking.

It does look fussy to make - for the experience yuh gotta say you made it at least once!
Go for it pictonguy!

I've been gifted Panettone several times. Truth to tell, never really saw what all the fuss was about. It was OK but certainly not something I personally would buy much less make.

We had dessert at a neighbor's house years ago and she made panettone bread pudding with amaretto sauce. O.M.G. Incredible. This is the recipe she used.

Vegan apple turnovers for my vegan friend

I made another one of those Death by Chocolate banana breads, this one with 7/8c WW flour, in place of a cup of AP, and baked in the longer 2 lb pan, rather than the 9 x 5 pan.

Baked a batch of peanut butter cookies today.

GG Love the traditional crossed fork! Thank you! sign of a true chef!

 

[pepperhead212]

I made another batch of this very large (turned out 90.45 oz of dough) recipe of rye bread today, this one an unusual version, using about 1¼ c of pickle juice in place of some of the water, and adding 2 tsp finely minced dill weed, and 2 tsp dill seed, in place of 1 tb of the caraway. The bread has 3/4 c cornmeal, cooked, which gets very thick, plus it has 2 c mashed potatoes. It has 4 c each rye and WW flours - the original name in the CB, "Dark Pumpernickel", I guess refers to the dark flours, with no white flours at all. I don't make this often, but I have extra room in my freezer now, once all those cookies were baked, and a lot of stuff was used up in the cookies. And one of these I will give to a friend of mine.

I made just a half a recipe of pfeffernüsse today, just because it's National Pfeffernüsse Day!

The Pfeffernüsse, after dusting with confectioners sugar. by pepperhead212, on Flickr

As much as I like them, I rarely make them, or the snowballs, dusted with powdered sugar, at least at this time, since the powdered sugar is messy, and I don't want to be getting it all over my other cookies, when making up my gift tins!

 

[Texmex]

I am not baking because about a month ago I'd invited my butterscotch bread pudding into two pans and froze one, so that is coming out and just getting warmed up on Christmas.

 

[Xocolatl]

I made another Greek yoghurt tart, this time with raspberries & blackberries stirred in.

 

[GotGarlic]

I didn't get the Bûche de Nöel done that I had planned, so this was our Christmas dessert.
