ANGELA (from Pennsylvania) MADE MY NO KNEAD WHOLE WHEAT & CIABATTA BREAD

“Jenny, I will thank you over and over for all of your wonderful recipes! Every one gets rave reviews from my family and friends. I’ve also been baking bread to give away to friends who are home and lonely.  Thank you and God bless you.  ~ Angela from Pennsylvania.”

~ Thank you for your photos. They both turned out great. – jennyWhole Wheat No Knead BreadNo Knead Ciabatta BreadDutch Oven Ciabatta Bread

CHAS MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT NO KNEAD BREAD

“This is a pic of your No-Knead bread recipe made with 2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. I increased the yeast to a teaspoon. It’s excellent but the regular all white flour version is out of this world.  I do use a bit more salt (1.5teaspoons) and a whole teaspoon of yeast and I add maybe a tablespoon of olive oil to the dough initially. My mom, my sister, and her kids all make this bread now. Thanks so much for making your video, we’re all a bit fatter but we love it.

I shared your video on Facebook and several friends make it now too. My sister added sesame seeds after resting the dough ( she spritzed it first with water) and says that works great. I may try that next time. I have made it in a cast-iron Dutch oven which come out great, a heavy pot with glass lid, an enamel 4.5 Qt pot,  and I can tell you that the 1.5 Qt enamel pan I tried is just TOO SMALL. It came out looking like a cake, but still tastes good.  Thanks again! Your bread is awesome!”

~ I’m a big fan of whole grain breads but I agree the white version is the best. Thanks for your photo!  – jennyWhole Wheat Dutch Oven Bread

ANNA MADE MY 1 3/4 HOUR NO KNEAD BREAD

Thank you again Jenny for the recipe that only needed a few steps and it worked miraculously.  Next project will be bbq ribs … stay tune.”

~ You are on a roll… pardon the pun. ? Thank you again for your lovely photos and good luck with the ribs! – jennyEasy Crusty RollsNo Knead Crusty Rolls

DONNA MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny! I’ve been making sourdough bread for about 10 years but I love your no knead bread, so I decided to see if I could blend them somehow.  I made your recipe but I used 3/4 cup ripe sourdough starter instead of yeast, and only used 1.25 cups of cool water.  I let it sit for 12 hours because sourdough gets more tang the longer it sits.  It rose great, I baked in my ceramic baker, and it turned out beautifully, and the taste is awesome! Thanks for your great recipe!  I will still use the original, but it’s always fun to experiment! ~ Donna Czech.”

~ Thanks for your photos and for sharing your quantities as quite a few people ask about how to use sourdough starter. – jennyNo Knead Sourdough Bread

VICKI (from California) MADE MY EASTER BUNNY BUNS & NO KNEAD BREAD

“I found your site while looking for a 1 layer yellow cake recipe. That led to your Easter bunny breads for my granddaughter’s Easter ‘basket’ (actually they were bags) since we are sheltering in place and couldn’t got out and buy baskets or treat.   Your fast no knead bread was next. The breads have been fun and easy; I have my second loaf in the oven now. I used a razor blade to cut a simple design on the top. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Our challenge here in CA is finding yeast and flour. Who knew those would be hot commodities during quarantine time. Glad I found you! Will be moving on to entrees next week as we are getting tired of my usual repertoire. ~ Vicki Rasmussen, San Jose, CA – Coordinator, Flowers of Comfort.”

I Made Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns

Homemade Sesame Seed Hamburger BunsI was craving a good hamburger so I made sesame seed buns from scratch and they were ready in an hour.  I can’t find whole wheat flour right now so I used my white bread with egg recipe. Just before baking, I brushed the buns using beaten egg yolk with a little water and sprinkled on the seeds. You can brush with egg white, egg yolk or even a beaten egg. Let me tell you, these were some awesome burgers! I used lean ground beef and I cooked the patties in a hot cast iron skillet. I seared them first so they were beautifully browned and tasted like they just came off the grill. (I should have taken a picture but I was hungry ?)

I had all the trimmings on hand, including lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard, mayo, and ketchup. WOW! I may never cook a burger on the grill again. I also made oven fries since I had a russet potato. I peeled and sliced it into fairly thin wedges, tossed them in olive oil, salt & pepper, and roasted them in a 425 oven on a baking sheet for about half an hour. Next time I make this classic American meal (and there will be a next time) I will post it as a recipe so everyone can enjoy delicious hamburgers at home. I never made a burger in a skillet  before so I even surprised myself.

Meantime, if you want to make the best and easiest sesame seed hamburger buns, click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

TINA (from Texas) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hello Jenny! My husband and I are both physicians.  He is on the front lines daily in the hospital while I’m seeing my patients via telemedicine. The one main lesson that this COVID19 crisis has taught me is that teachers are WAY underpaid! They all should be paid at least 10 times more for tolerating…I mean teaching our kids.  I’ve been trying to juggle seeing my patients, oversee distance learning for my kids, and manage my household chores – my escape has been trying your recipes in my kitchen (which is my happy place).  I have made so many and they all turn out so well!  I’m baking my way through this darn pandemic!

Anyhow, I decided to surprise my newly pregnant baby sister and her husband on her 33rd birthday with a “fancy” decorated version of your chocolate cake with your 2 minute frosting.This made her so happy on her birthday!!!  I just topped the cake with a few homemade chocolate covered strawberries and drizzled dark and white chocolate sculptures (I’m not sure what to call them).  Look how beautiful it came out!  I just love you and your recipes!!!  Thank you for being you and for sharing your love of healthier cooking with us! Hugs from Texas, – Tina Dieber.”

~ Well that’s the best my cake has ever looked! Thank you for these lovely photos, my best birthday wishes to your sister, and most importantly, my admiration to you both for doing good in the world. ❤️ – jenny Jenny Can Cook Chocolate CakeEasiest Chocolate Cake Ever

DAVID (from Canada) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny. Made your quick no- knead bread & it turned out great. The only thing was the bottom crust was a little hard to slice through. Maybe when I remove the lid to brown the top i should reduce temp a little. Thanks, David D ~ from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.”

~ Reducing the temperature  when the lid comes off is a good idea or you could also try removing the loaf from the pan after 30 minutes and placing it directly on the oven rack but put the parchment paper,  folded over for more thickness, under it. Good luck! – jenny (also from Ontario, Canada ??)Easy Dutch Oven Bread

BARB (from Canada) MADE MY SIMPLE WHITE BREAD

“Jenny, I couldn’t be more pleased with how this bread turned out.  Just look at that beautiful loaf!

I really appreciate knowing I can try a new recipe with confidence and every anticipation of success after watching your video demonstrations.  And my husband appreciates what’s coming out of my oven nowadays!  Thank you, Jenny. ~ Barb from Ontario, Canada.”

Make Healthier Sandwich, Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns

Healthy Sandwich Buns

I love these soft, whole wheat buns. This is the exact same recipe as my simple whole wheat bread but it’s shaped into buns and it’s faster than the loaf. If you’re a fan of my whole wheat loaf, you must try making these buns. It’s a quick and easy recipe that takes only an hour from start to finish. With summer coming and burgers about to be made on the grill, you can now have a healthier option for hamburger buns. As for sandwiches, it’s always a healthier sandwich when you use whole wheat bread.

These rolls are so soft, you might forget they’re whole wheat but if you’re not a fan of whole wheat… no problem. These turn out just as well using my simple white bread with egg recipe. Either way, these are quick, easy and delicious buns for healthier sandwich and burgers. Click here for the recipe.

Homemade Hot Dog Buns

And here are my hot dog buns, made from the same recipe, only made into long buns. They are also soft, whole wheat buns for a healthy alternative to store bought buns. I tried store bought whole wheat hot dog buns and they were terrible – dry and heavy. These are light as a feather but again, if you want to make them white, just use my simple white bread with egg recipe. But since my soft whole wheat loaf is so popular, I hope you’ll try these healthier whole wheat hot dog buns. Click here for the recipe, – Jenny Jones

Fudgy, Chewy, Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Brownies

Fudgy Chewy Gluten Free BrowniesI like these brownies just as much as my regular and very popular chocolate brownies. I was surprised how well gluten free flour works in brownies, both my lemon brownies and these dark chocolate ones. I think it makes them even more fudgy and chewy. The only gluten free flour I could find was Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour and it works really well. I’m hoping if someone makes this recipe with a different gluten free flour, they will report back on the result.

I make them with avocado oil but you can also used melted butter. Surprisingly, I prefer the ones made with oil and saw no improvement in flavor using butter. That may be because there is so much rich chocolate flavor in these decadent brownies. I use a whole 3-ounce dark chocolate bar and Dutch process cocoa, which is very rich and dark. I also use dark chocolate chips so that would make them triple chocolate brownies that just happen to be gluten free. Click here for the recipe – Jenny Jones

CAROL MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT/RYE BREAD

“I love your whole wheat bread recipe, it’s my go to! I discovered I have a lot of rye four so I thought it might be nice to use this recipe as a good base for a rye and it is! Subbed in 1/2 c rye for the all purpose, used molasses for the sweetener and added 1T caraway seeds. It’s a very subtle rye with great texture. Might get brave and try increasing rye next time…and there will be a next time. ?”

~ I LOVE that combination because I love rye bread with caraway. I am trying this for sure! Thank you. – jennyHomemade Whole Wheat Rye BreadEasy Healthy Homemade Bread

DALILA MADE MY MARBLE LOAF CAKE

Hi Jenny! ? I made your MARBLE LOAF CAKE, it’s a great ‘snacking’ treat. Hubby and I nibbled on it throughout the day….LOL! ? I did use 1/2 a cup of whole wheat pastry flour instead of using all APF. I also added toasted pecans into the batter and topped the loaf with pecans. It all baked up  wonderfully, no problems at all. This easy to make MARBLE LOAF CAKE is definitely a keeper. Thank you for your delicious recipes Ms. Jenny! Have a nice day and be well. Happy Baking! ? Dalila.

~ Thank you for another lovely photo. I love this cake with tea. – jennyMarble Loaf Cake

PEGGY MADE MY FOCACCIA BREAD

“I’ve made this twice now with great results.  Goes beautifully with soup or salad. To conserve my all purpose flour I made this loaf with 1 cup all purpose and 1/2 cup white whole wheat, and fresh rosemary from our garden.  It worked beautifully.”

~ It turned out so well and evenly browned all over. Thank you for your photo. – jennyHomemade Focaccia Bread
