In good times and in bad, baking is a source of comfort. The need to slow down as you measure. The hypnotic mixing and kneading. The repetitive motion. The aromas. The taste. Biting into a baked good can transport you back in time or ground you in the present. You’ll get satisfaction and a smile, not to mention wonderful food to share with family and friends.
Since we launched Voraciously more than two years ago, we’ve been providing a wide array of baking recipes well suited for beginning and intermediate bakers. We’re confident, though, that even advanced cooks will enjoy the results and perhaps learn something new along the way. These recipes don’t require much in the way of special equipment or obscure ingredients. Many require only one bowl. All are completely doable and utterly delicious.
Among the dozen options here, you’ll find a nice mix of sweet and savory. The tempting desserts include a cake worth splurging on maple syrup for, fudgy (gluten-free!) brownies, nutty tahini blondies and a classic shortbread that’s perfect with a cup of tea. Consider this booklet your own personal bread course, too. We’ve got no-knead recipes for focaccia, English muffins and a whole-wheat Dutch oven round. A nostalgic tray of pillowy dinner rolls will help you get your kneading fix and has quickly become a fixture on many of our staff’s holiday tables.
Whether you dive into as many of them as possible now or hold onto this collection for future days, we hope you’ll find a few new favorite recipes to return to again and again. Nothing for us could be sweeter than that.
