Bread

These are effectively a brioche dough with a little butter and a book fold to give them their characteristic shape. As far as I’m concerned, they’re essential for Thanksgiving. Though they’re great at any time of year....

This is pretty easy to get creative with. Just about any reasonable hard herb works really well. Think thyme, rosemary, or sage. Delicate herbs like basil will work, but they’ll be a little bit destroyed by the high heat of the oven....

This recipe comes to me almost exactly from my favorite YouTube channel, Boulangerie Pas à pas. I won’t pretend these are quite as easy as popping to the store and buying burger buns....

While there is some pleasure to be had in baking my own bread, I’d honestly be a lot happier if I could pop into a bakery in the morning and pick up a great loaf of professionally-baked bread every day....
