RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • peeler
  • cheese grater
  • big bowl
  • oven-safe dish with a lid (or aluminum foil)
  • small pan
  • oven
  • cling film

Ingredients

Units Scale
PIZZA DOUGH
  • 600 grams pizza flour (or type 00)
  • 400 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 7 grams active instant dry yeast
BAKED GARLIC
  • 1 garlic bulb
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
CARAMALIZED LEEKS
  • 1 leek
  • 2 tsp butter
  • pinch of salt
BAKED TOPPINGS
  • 500 grams green asparagus
  • 80 grams parmesan
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
OTHER TOPPINGS AFTER BAKING
  • ricotta cheese
  • cress
  • pine nuts
  • fresh lemon juice
  • olive oil
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast. Make a well in the center, pour in lukewarm water, and stir everything together with a wooden spoon until everything just came together and you get a sticky dough. Cover the bowl tightly with cling film and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

  2. Now remove the cling film and do a round of stretch and folds: grab the dough from all four sides, lift each section, and fold it into the center. Wet your hand with lukewarm water each time to keep things from sticking. Cover the bowl again, rest for another 10 minutes, and repeat the stretch and fold. Cover once more and let the dough rise at room temp for 1 hour. Do one last round of stretch and folds after that hour, cover again, and let it rest for another hour.

  3. Meanwhile, slice off the top of the bulb to expose the cloves. Place in an oven-safe dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with ¼ tsp chili flakes and ¼ tsp salt. Cover and bake at 250°C / 482°F for 45 minutes.

  4. Now wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends. Use a peeler to shave thin ribbons from the stalks, leaving the heads intact. Set both aside. Wash the leek and slice it into thick rings, try to keep the rings whole. Set aside. Grate the Parmesan, finely chop the thyme, and halve the lemon.

  5. Next toast pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan, add 2 tsp butter, and melt over low-medium heat. Gently place in the leek rings and cook for 10–15 minutes until the bottom is golden and the leeks are soft. Flip carefully and cook another 5 minutes. Set aside.

  6. Once the garlic is cool, squeeze the cloves out into the oil, mash it all together into a paste, and set aside. Preheat your oven to 230°C / 446°F (fan).

  7. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper. Divide your dough into 4 pieces. Take one, place it on the parchment, dust the top with flour, and gently press it out with your fingers until it resists stretching (about 1.5 cm / ½″ thick). Drizzle olive oil over the dough. Top with grated Parmesan, a bit of garlic paste, asparagus shavings + heads, and a few caramelized leek rings. Sprinkle with thyme. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.

  8. Fresh out of the oven, finish with dollops of ricotta, toasted pine nuts, microgreens, cracked pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and (optional) a final drizzle of olive oil. Slice and serve!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

You know those desserts that feel like you didn’t try too hard, but still look like a dream? This is one of them. A buttery, golden crust, soft-set fruit, and the kind of almond cream that makes you wonder why we ever stopped baking with frangipane in the first place. It’s the dessert you make when you’re trying to impress someone (including yourself) without sweating over it. Peak cozy elegance, especially in spring or early summer when berries and rhubarb are at their best.

How to serve
This tart doesn’t need much, just something creamy on the side to balance the tang and crunch. A scoop of vanilla ice cream? Always. Lightly whipped cream? Also yes. A drizzle of vanilla sauce? Go for it. Serve it slightly warm or at room temp so the flavors can really come through. I like it best the day it’s made, shared at a table that’s maybe still messy from dinner and filled with good company.

How to store
Wrap up any leftovers and pop them in the fridge. It keeps well for up to two days, just reheat slightly before serving. And the best part: the crust stays crisp, which honestly feels like a little bit of magic.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • mixing bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small bowls
  • rolling pin

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 200 grams all-purpose flour
  • 150 grams butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 60 milliliters cold water
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 egg (for brushing the crust)
  • 2 tbsp white sugar (for topping the crust)
ALMOND CREAM
  • 50 grams butter, soft
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
FRUITS
  • 200 grams fresh rhubarb
  • 200 grams fresh strawberries
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
TOPPINGS
  • sliced almonds
  • ice cream, whipped cream or vanilla sauce

Instructions

  1. For the dough, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter in small cubes and work it in quickly with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter throughout. Add the cold water and apple cider vinegar, then bring everything together with your hands until a rough dough forms. Shape it into a rectangle on your work surface, cut it into four equal pieces, stack them on top of each other, gently press together, and wrap the stack in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for about 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, wash the rhubarb thoroughly, peel if necessary, and cut it into finger-length pieces. Depending on your preference, slice them into thin strips or slightly thicker chunks. Toss the rhubarb in a bowl with cornstarch and powdered sugar, then set aside. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them as well.
  3. Next, prepare the almond cream. Cream the soft butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the egg, salt, vanilla extract, and ground almonds. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 392 °F. Remove the chilled dough from the fridge, let it rest briefly on a floured surface, then roll or press it out into a large, rustic circle using short movements. Don’t worry if the dough tears slightly, this is typical for shortcrust pastry and can be patched with leftover scraps. Gently roll the dough around your rolling pin and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Spread the almond cream evenly over the dough, leaving a border of about 8 cm (3 inches) all around. Distribute the prepared fruit over the almond cream, then fold the edges of the dough over the filling and press them down gently. Brush the crust with oil or a beaten egg, sprinkle with sliced almonds and a bit of sugar, and bake the galette for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Serve best while still slightly warm paired with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or vanilla sauce. I used pistachio ice cream, which pairs beautifully with the almond cream and the tart rhubarb.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

They might look fancy, but these little guys are secretly the easiest crowd-pleaser ever. You know those recipes that make people pause mid-bite and go, “Wait—what is this?” Yeah, it’s one of those. The vibrant color comes from a quick beet juice bath (don’t worry, they’re not beety, just beautiful), and the filling is creamy, tangy, and somehow nostalgic and elevated at the same time. Perfect for Easter brunches or as appetizers for dinner parties.

How to serve
These pop right off the plate, so serve them cold on a pretty platter with a sprinkle of herbs and a little crispy bacon on top. A dusting of everything bagel seasoning makes them feel extra fun and just a little cheeky. Ideal for Easter brunch, a spring picnic, or as that one unexpected hit at your dinner party.

How to store
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The color stays vibrant, and the texture holds up surprisingly well.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • small pot
  • two small bowls
  • immersion blender (or regular one)
  • piping bag & star tip (optional)
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 eggs
  • 400 milliliters beetroot juice
FILLING
  • (the yolks from the 6 eggs)
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
TOPPINGS
  • 2 bacon slices
  • fresh dill
  • fresh chives
  • everything but the bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes. Then transfer them to a bowl of cold water and let them sit for about 5 minutes. After that, pour out the water and add the beet juice to the same bowl. While the eggs are still warm, peel them completely and let them soak in the beet juice for about 2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until super crispy. Set it aside and let it cool down.
  3. After marinating, carefully slice the eggs in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Be sure to wipe the knife after each egg to keep the next one looking clean and neat.
  4. Gently scoop out the yolks from the 6 eggs and place them in a separate bowl. Mix with mayo, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend everything until smooth using an immersion blender. You can either fill the egg halves using a piping bag with a star tip (looks extra cute) or just use two spoons. It works either way. Pipe or spoon the filling into each egg half until all the mix is used up.
  5. For the topping, I used crispy bacon, fresh chives, fresh dill, and a generous sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning. But honestly? You can top them with whatever makes your heart happy.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

These soft, pillowy buns are one of those things that somehow feel both nostalgic and wildly indulgent. We’re talking golden, fluffy dough, a silky vanilla filling, and a bright hit of strawberry jam, all topped with a delicate crumble of streusel. It’s giving cozy Sunday morning, messy counter, and a “just one more” situation. Whether you grew up with German-style sweet buns or not, this combo is the kind of thing that makes you pause mid-bite and just… smile.

How to serve
These are lovely served warm, when the vanilla cream is still soft and the jam gently melts into the dough. But honestly? They’re just as dreamy cold. Straight from the fridge works, especially with a cup of coffee on a slow morning. Serve them stacked on a brunch platter or individually in cupcake liners for that little bakery moment. Optional, but highly recommended: a dusting of powdered sugar to make them feel extra special.

How to store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • stand mixer or electric hand mixer
  • plastic wrap
  • rectangular baking dish

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 250 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 7 grams dry active yeast
  • 60 grams white sugar
  • 525 grams all-purpose flour (in Germany 550er)
  • 75 grams butter, soft
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
VANILLA CREAM
  • 200 grams heavy cream
  • 90 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60 grams white sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 20 grams cornstarch
STREUSEL
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 70 grams butter, soft
  • 70 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
OTHER INGREDIENTS
  • 200 grams strawberry jam (homemade or store-bought)
  • confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the cream with the sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the milk until it comes to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, egg yolk, and remaining milk. Slowly pour the starch mixture into the boiling cream while whisking constantly until it thickens into a smooth pudding. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Set aside for later.
  2. Gently warm the milk to 38°C / 100°F and stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for a few minutes until slightly foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, egg, soft butter, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead for about 10 minutes until you get a smooth, soft dough that doesn’t stick. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes.
  3. Combine the butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt and mix until crumbly. Chill the streusel until ready to use.
  4. Once the dough has risen, knead it briefly and divide into 12 equal balls, about 80g / 3oz each. Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper and arrange the dough balls inside. Let them rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Use your thumbs and press in the middle of the dough ball to form kind of a bowl shape that is going to be filled each with 1 tablespoon of vanilla pudding and 1 heaping teaspoon of strawberry jam side by side.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°Ft. Sprinkle the chilled streusel generously over the buns and bake for about 55 minutes, or until golden. Serve slightly warm or fully cooled—both are delicious. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

There’s something about warm, cheesy pastries that just hits differently. Especially when they’re packed with melty cheddar, smoky ham, and fresh chives. These golden, flaky scones aren’t your typical dainty teatime snack, they’re the brunch version of it. The kind of thing you bake once and instantly regret ever offering to share.

How to serve
Serve these warm from the oven with a generous slather of the ranch butter melting into every crevice. Add a fried egg on the side if you’re feeling extra, or go classic with a cup of black coffee and your favorite playlist on repeat. They’re great for lazy Sundays, fancy brunch tables, or mid-week I-deserve-this moments. Pro tip: break them in half and turn them into a breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs or crispy bacon. Zero judgment.

How to store
Store leftovers (if you’re lucky enough to have any) in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temp. Reheat in the oven for that just-baked vibe.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • box grater
  • mixing bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • round cookie cutter
  • spatula

Ingredients

Units Scale
SCONES
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 tsp backing powder
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 90 grams butter, cold
  • 1 egg
  • 160 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 150 grams cheddar cheese
  • 150 grams ham
  • 20 grams fresh chives
RANCH COMPOUND BUTTER
  • 125 grams butter, soft
  • 3 tsp dried chives
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp dried garlic powder
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the butter for the scones in the freezer for 15 minutes. Let the butter for the ranch compound butter soften at room temperature. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. Dice the ham into small squares, grate the cheese, and finely slice the chives. Set aside about 1/3 of each to top the scones later.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Grate the cold butter directly into the dry ingredients using a box grater.
  3. In a small glass or bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then pour into the dry mixture. Mix with a spoon just until the dough comes together. You should still see streaks of flour. Add the ham, cheese, and chives and gently fold in. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and shape it into a rectangle (about 20x30cm) using a spatula. Avoid using your hands because keeping the butter cold is key to flaky scones. Sprinkle the remaining ham, cheese, and chives over the top.
  4. Use a round cutter to cut out as many scones as possible. Gather and gently reshape the scraps to cut more until all the dough is used. If you don’t have a cutter, simply slice the dough into triangles. This recipe yields about 10 scones.
  5. Arrange the scones on the baking sheet with a bit of space in between and bake for about 15 minutes until golden. Let cool slightly and serve fresh.
