This recipe is formulated specifically for freshly ground whole wheat flour from Hard Spring wheat. You will get different results if you substitute anything. To start with, I will introduce this recipe as a Bosch mixer recipe, because I use one to make my dough and it takes 10 minutes kneading to get a nicely developed dough. If you are …

I am going to post the recipe at the top, but I would love it if you read my little back story to this recipe. This recipe started when I was a teenager working at Moxie Java. I worked the espresso counter mostly, but over the 4 years I worked there, the baking job had many vacancies and I was …

Big & Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
While I do sometimes use real butter to make cookies, I don’t use my Bosch mixer for anything dairy because of some of the kosher food preparation standards we observe around not mixing meat and dairy foods including keeping dishes completely separate. Mixing cookies by hand takes a bit of dedication, and I don’t own a hand mixer (perhaps I …

Homemade Soft Flour Tortillas
This past week, my oven went out. Actually, I was baking Challah, and the broil burner came on and burned the tops. It was a bit sad. I also had 3 pans of cinnamon rolls ready to bake, and 2 pans of cheese croissants ready to raise, but at least those could go in the freezer. We eat Challah every …

How to cook beans in the Instant Pot Duo and Instant Pot Max
I got the IP Max about a year ago, and it has been a bit of a learning curve over the other versions, simply because it cooks at higher pressure, and therefore everything cooks faster. I can cook brown rice in 13 minutes, vs. 26 minutes in my Instant Pot Duo. That’s a big difference! I’ve been a DUO user …

Passover Coconut Joy Brownies
These brownies are not quite the traditional chewy chocolatey brownie you might be used to – they are very coconut-mounds bar fudgy and delicious, gluten free and made with honey. The ingredients are simple, and I’m sure there are some things you can substitute, but I’m going to put out there what I used before passover. I made a batch …

Back to School during COVID-19
After 6 months of being home with my kids and tons of free play and messes, we decided to send our kids back to school. It was a heavy decision, and we will only know in hindsight if we could have done better. Homeschooling sounded like a good idea until we started making plans and realized that our 6 year …
