Pumpkin Panettone
A Great Holiday Presentation
This is straight from my test kitchen. Ha! This is an amazingly simple recipe. A little time consuming but worth it. The texture is unchanged from the traditional panettone. The question is why. Why mess with the traditional panettone? It’s simple. Not everyone in our family is into candied fruit. And without the candied fruit where do you go? Pumpkin and toasted or candied pecans. You can add raisins or chopped dates if you must. It’s just a great change up for panettone.
I recommend a paper mold for baking. Baking time is a little faster using a paper mold, and clean up is a snap. This 2 pound loaf paper mold needs no greasing nor extra baking pan.
If you have any Panettone left give my next recipe a try, Panettone French Toast.
Jelly Donuts (Sufganiyot)
This is what happens when you don’t follow a recipe. It’s delicious but nothing like the 
Sometimes you just want a fully loaded quick bread. If you love the cake you’re gonna love this! A mere 15 minutes to the oven. Yep, it does take an hour to bake but your kitchen will smell amazing while it bakes. I opt for light olive oil just because of the health benefits. There is reportedly more health benefits to extra virgin. I have used extra virgin without significant taste difference. But if you are baking this for a foodie with a very discriminating palate opt for the light.
The perfect ending to a summer meal! At this time of year you may have an over-load of berries. Yes, this works with just about all berries. The attraction here is not only the deliciousness but the absolute ease of this recipe. Try it today. You and your family will not be disappointed.
Coffeecake with a spongelike texture … Definitely a different take on coffeecake. This is a sweet eggy moist cake that’s perfect with coffee or tea. It’s pretty much a pantry ingredient recipe … freeing you up to make this just about anytime. Give yourself or family a morning treat with this delicious cake. You say you don’t have yogurt! You know the substitutions, right? Sour cream, buttermilk, blended cottage cheese to name a few.
King Arthur Baking Products are high on my list. Nope, this isn’t a paid advertisement! I receive their free catalog routinely, and it’s one catalog I actually look through. Great recipes are included along with product suggestions. Their recipes are not included without their trial run. (Neither are my recipes, BTW.) Yep, you guessed it! This is one of theirs. I had all the ingredients (*well not white whole wheat flour) and we were hungry for muffins now. These didn’t disappoint!
