Today I wanted to bake a cake, and I realized how important it is to have a good flour sifter. I remember I bought one a while ago, so I dug it out from the back of my cupboard. It was a bit dusty, but I figured, no problem, I’ll just give it a quick wash. First, I tried to run it under the tap....

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with a new toy in the kitchen lately – a metal dough scraper. Sounds boring, right? But trust me, this thing is a game changer. I’ve always struggled with sticky dough, especially when I’m making bread or pastries. It’s like, no matter how much flour I use, the dough ends up sticking to my hands, the countertop, everything! It’s...

Today, I decided to mess around with low gluten flour and see what all the fuss was about. I’ve always been a regular all-purpose flour kind of guy, but hey, why not try something new, right?

Okay, so today, I wanted to try something new for breakfast. I’m talking about pancakes, but not just any pancakes. These are pancakes with a little twist – heavy whipping cream.

Okay, so, I’ve always wanted to make some delicious egg tarts, especially the flaky kind. But getting that perfect crust? That’s always been the tricky part.

I rolled up my sleeves and...

Okay, so I really wanted to make some bread, but I realized I was all out of vegetable oil. I was a little bummed at first, but then I thought, “Hey, there’s gotta be a way to make this work!” And guess what? There totally is! So, the first thing I did was look up some recipes online. I found that a lot of them...

Okay, so I’ve been on this sourdough kick lately, right? Everyone’s talking about it, and I just had to see what the fuss was about. I mean, who doesn’t love a good, crusty loaf of bread? But here’s the thing – a lot of these recipes call for a Dutch oven, and I just didn’t have one. I wasn’t about to drop a bunch of...

Okay, here we go, let me tell you about the time I tried to make Hawaiian sweet bread in my bread machine. I’d always been a fan of those soft, fluffy, slightly sweet Hawaiian rolls you can get at the store. You know, the King’s Hawaiian ones? Yeah, those. So, when I stumbled upon a recipe specifically for making Hawaiian sweet bread in a bread...

Today I want to share something called “baker’s honey,” which is a pretty interesting thing I got into recently. So, I was reading this article, I think it was from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, talking about different types of honey. I had some free time on my hands, so I thought, why not try making some? First, I went to this...

Alright, so, Christmas is coming up, and you know what that means – it’s baking time! I decided this year I’m going all out with the Christmas cookies, and that means I needed the right tools.
