A New Valentine's Day Tradition?
Will you watch the Super Bowl tomorrow or celebrate Valentine's Day sometime in the next few days?This is a party weekend at our house. The Super Bowl is a time to get together with lifelong friends. Valentine's Day is an excuse to indulge our grandchildren while giving their parents a chance to enjoy a date night. In addition to our longtime Valentine's tradition of chocolate fondue for dessert, I'm adding a new version of my monkey bread to our dinner menu. After mixing it in a bread machine, I'll bake it in a heart-shaped pan. Of course, it's equally delicious baked in a traditional bundt pan. Browned Butter Monkey BreadThis recipe remains true to my original monkey bread recipe, with one significant change. Browning the butter before coating the irregular dough pieces with it adds a nutty, caramel-like depth to the flavor profile. It's a treat you'll definitely want to share. If you have a sweet tooth, consider drizzling the finished bread with caramel syrup like you would put on ice cream and serve it for breakfast or brunch. |
Note: For those of you who like to bake your bread in the bread machine, I will show you how to do it with monkey bread in this post. Happy Valentine's Day, Paula |

Wilson's book Open Crumb Mastery. It's not for beginners, and it's not a cookbook. But if you...
I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon. This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...
Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
