Cinnamon rolls, cinnamon buns, cinnamon swirl bread, I love it all. Sinking your teeth into a fresh, warm cinnamon roll is one of the best experiences on earth. That’s why I was feeling so guilty…

Gluten-Free Flax Seed Bread à la Virtuoso: Composing A Bread Machine Breakthrough
May 4th, 2012 by
Recipe: Gluten-Free Flax Seed Bread
One of the greatest challenges of gluten-free baking is tackling yeast recipes. Those restricted from gluten want warm, chewy English muffins, sweet, soft cinnamon rolls, and a good crusty artisan-style bread; however the consensus is that these are the most difficult novelties to achieve, especially if you want them to be anything close to their wheat-version counterparts.

Recipe: Turkey Tetrazzini
The Easter ham.
It’s not a given, you know. Just because everyone else serves ham (or, for real traditionalists, lamb) on Easter, the Food Police won’t come knocking at your door if you dare to defy tradition and serve something else as the main dish.
Like lasagna, as my Italian in-laws often do.
Or roast turkey. After all, where is it writ that turkey can ONLY be served at Thanksgiving?
ZO handy! Cheese bread and baked pasta without the fuss.

If you’ve been reading this blog lately, you’ll know that 2 days ago I described the many reasons I love my test kitchen Zojirushi bread machine.
I mean, I feel like Ron Popeil, the Ronco guy: “It slices, it dices, and so much more!”
Well, the Zo doesn’t slice-and-dice.
But “so much more”?
You betcha.

The following recipe story is another post in the series of “I didn’t know you could make THAT in a bread machine” blogs – a series of which I’m inordinately fond.
I’m a lazy baker.
There, I’ve said it. While I enjoy the process of baking – indeed, even love to bake, when time isn’t too much of the essence – I’m usually more attracted by the end result than how you get there.

So, what can you really get done in less than 90 minutes today? You could clean out your sock drawer. You could call your best friend and commiserate for 90 minutes about how her husband and kids never clean their sock drawers, or ditch the socks altogether and…
Zo = dough: Chocolate-Cherry Brioche

Recipe: Chocolate-Cherry Brioche
Brioche.
If you have any experience at all with brioche, merely seeing the word probably sends a shiver down your spine.
A shiver of anticipation for the ultra-tender, super-buttery bread that emerges from your oven.
And a matching shiver of angst at the difficult dough that precedes that loaf. read the rest of this entry »
