Sourdough Bagel
Start with your favorite sourdough that is fed and active. You can make these in one day if you start early enough, but they are best when the dough is allowed to sit overnight. These are easy to customize also!
Easy Sourdough Bread
Candied Pistachios
Instead of almonds, I wanted to try pistachios. I prefer the pistachios!
Pickles, Large Batch
We prefer the smaller, hand size pickles for these. Whole cucumbers do not get as soggy as cut and a lot can be stuffed into the jars.
Pickles (Great Grandma Reble’s Recipe)
This is a small batch of pickles that you can make as your cucumbers become ripe. Grandma did not hot water bath them, but it is highly recommended that you do
Baklava
A not to sweet dessert that is perfect for special occasions.
Burnt Almonds (Gebrannte Mandeln)
We discovered this recipe while looking for German Christmas recipes. Many “Weihnachtsmarkt” (Christmas markets) serve these cinnamony nuts. While it would make sense to share the recipe for Christmas, we decided to wait until National Almond Day, which is the 16th of February every year.
To keep from burning, the mixture needs to be stirred continuously.
Dark Chocolate, Cherry, Pecan Sourdough Bread
A nice bread to toast for breakfast or snack.
Pita Bread
Even though this bread does not always puff up or pull apart into a pocket, it is still a very good flat bread.
The longer the dough has to sit in the fridge, the better it tastes. It can be made up to three days ahead, but it is also good if you are making it last minute.
