I had these great rolls in Denmark last year and I was yearned to eat them again. They’re fairly simple to make and they combine the great taste of sunflower seeds and grated carrots which isn’t something I would have thought to do on my own. They’re a nice hearty roll that could easily be a breakfast or a meal with a soup or salad as a side. Though I would suggest mixing the seeds and carrots in to the dough in a bowl as it gets quite sticky otherwise.

Recipe: Scallion Pancakes
These are like naan on steroids. They’re very unassuming but they were super quick to make and absolutely delicious. I didn’t do a great job at pan frying but they still were crispy and crunchy and completely satisfying. I made the dough the night before and then fried them up in the morning so that’s an option if you’re a little low on time or you like to last minute cook in the morning.

These are a total hit, I would absolutely suggest that if you would like to eat bread and potatoes at the same time that you do it in knish form. The dough for these is VERY forgiving and the filling is hearty and homey at the same time so these would be great next to a bowl of soup or a salad to make a full meal.

Unlike my other pretzel recipes for softer type pretzels, these come out with the hard tack shell of the outside and the just soft inside like you’d see in a pub. They’re perfect for dipping, game night, or serving as a fun side with a thick soup.

A super basic pancake recipe where the batter take just a minute or two to come together with things you probably have hanging around the house on any morning that you find yourself in need of a little bread that is kind of also cake-like.

I thought for a while that I didn’t like carrot cake but after some careful considerate I think I just don’t like the overly sweet commercially made carrot cakes. For this one I doubled the amount of spices to give it an extra kick too.

Adapted from The Gourmet GourmandRecipe: Potato and Fenugreek Stuffed Naan
If you’re like me you probably assumed that even if you could make regular naan (which I do on occasion) that stuffed naan was a bridge too far. This recipe made it super simple and while the original has you grilling them lightly while coated in oil/butter, I actually made these for Thanksgiving so I simply baked them in the oven so I wouldn’t have to babysit a pan. The dough rolls out perfect and not sticky at all. In the future though I think I’ll add some cheese and more spice!

Adapted from Playful CookingRecipe: Challah
Challah is a traditional egg bread made by Jewish families all over the world. For me it’s the most basic treat from Friday nights and holidays. This recipe makes a soft, fluffy loaf that expands to great heights and is sure to impress your friends and family. The taste and smell remind me of New York bakeries back home but out of the oven, eaten slightly warm, there’s nothing like it!
