Bread Cheese Fat Three ingredients with a limitless upside. There is no right nor wrong. But there are as many opinions on the proper arrangement of the ingredients as there are ways to combine them. Years Past June 24, 2018... Continue reading

Phyllo Crusted Doughnut
Image
I like doughnut fusion. From our initial successes with the marble doughnut and into the doughnut clusters we have seen that doughnuts have the ability to bond together and to other ingredients. Our Tiger Crunch was created because we knew... Continue reading

Magic Mustard Sauce
Image
The blend of habanero peppers and yellow mustard is a flavor base I would not have originally considered. After having "Lottie's" in our kitchen I can't figure out how we had gone so long without it. Years Past June 20,... Continue reading

Cut, Trimmed and Discarded

If the most delicious parts are the ones that are either cut, trimmed or discarded perhaps we need to change our approach. Years Past June 17, 2018 June 17, 2017 June 17, 2016 June 17, 2015 June 17, 2014 June... Continue reading

Sake e Pepe

Our sake strozapreti take time to cook. They took a good 13 minutes in this shape. To me that was too long. I need to roll the dough thinner to shorten the cooking time. But when they were cooked they... Continue reading

Today we put our doughnut poprocks into play. The poprocks have a toasted doughnut flavor, reminiscent of nilla wafers. Cynthia connected the dots and said we should do a banana cream pie style doughnut. We coated our cluster doughnuts with... Continue reading

I have spent a fair amount of time tinkering with the trimmings from our Angel Doughnuts. The babka was delicious but frying it destroyed our oil. We started rolling the trimmings into large squares, then rolling them around cannoli tubes... Continue reading

A year ago we introduced the Earl Grey Glazed Doughnut. When I was tasting the glaze the other day it reminded me of Fruity Pebbles. We recently brought strawberry crumbs back into the rotation. The two pieces clicked. The strawberry... Continue reading
