the fortuitous baker: Finally...some good ol' fashioned scones!
http://fortuitousbaker.blogspot.com/2012/06/finallysome-good-ol-fashioned-scones.html
Saturday, June 23, 2012. Finally.some good ol' fashioned scones! Ok, I'll admit it. Lately my blog has looked more like a love letter to Alton Brown than a baking blog. I'm sorry- I do miss my experimentation in the kitchen, but really, after 14 seasons on the air, Good Eats has produced some quality recipes. Recently, my two main stress reducers have been baking and running (at least they balance each other out.right? And I really got hooked on Good Eats for the first time in my life! Scones in America ...

the fortuitous baker: May 2012
http://fortuitousbaker.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Part 2.Sticky Buns! If delicious soft brioche isn't sweet enough for you, you can always use your brioche dough to make the most decadent sticky buns you've ever had. A few weeks ago I posted about the best sticky buns from Devil's Teeth Baking Company. Well this Julia Child recipe rivals what they bake. And for a first time brioche maker, I'm pretty sure that with some practice these could be the best pastry ever. This recipe also comes from Baking With Julia,. 1 egg, beaten.

Friday, June 1, 2012. Lana's Star Wars Birthday Cookies! This week has been full of birthday baking fun! Yesterday was Lana Dow's big 25, and there really isn't any better way to celebrate a quarter century than by pretending we are all 5 again. Sooo I decided to make these awesome Star Wars Millenium Falcon and TIE Fighter sugar cookies with decorative royal icing. A few months ago, my friend Kim posted a great sugar cookie recipe on her blog. Since the recipes for the cookie base. 1 cup unsalted butter...

the fortuitous baker: Very Healthy Banana Bread
http://fortuitousbaker.blogspot.com/2012/06/very-healthy-banana-bread.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Very Healthy Banana Bread. Those of you who know me well know that I am always searching for the perfect healthy baked good. "Healthy" cookies have been my main quest, but I have been known to try "sugar free" or "fat free" banana breads from time to time. And lets face it. Nothing really ever tastes that good. Cookies are meant to be sweet melt-in-your mouth morsels! So I continue my quest, usually in vain. I made some atrocious low fat banana oatmeal cookies. The first step is ...

the fortuitous baker: Pizza Pizza! and some Breadsticks!
http://fortuitousbaker.blogspot.com/2012/06/pizza-pizza-and-some-breadsticks.html
Saturday, June 23, 2012. Pizza is one of my biggest weaknesses. Thin crust, quattro formaggi, deep dish- basically, I would be happy eating pizza every night for dinner. So when my first attempt at making homemade pizza failed, I was heartbroken. Alton had let me down- his pizza recipe. Was no better than the store bought stuff. Of course, it could have been my old egg beater (the days before the KitchenAid), or my novice attempts at slow rise yeast doughs. 1 packet of yeast. 1 cup polenta cornmeal.

the fortuitous baker: Midnight Snack Series: Bread!
http://fortuitousbaker.blogspot.com/2012/05/midnight-snack-series-bread.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Midnight Snack Series: Bread! My bread. fresh out of the oven. phew! I have three ultimate baking fears: yeast, candy thermometers, and meringue. Well this week I am trying to overcome them! As you can see from the photo above, I succeeded in making bread. So this is kinda like telling you a love story when you know the main characters get together. But isn't it really about the journey? So I set out to make Alton's Very Basic Bread Recipe. 1 teaspoon instant, or rapid rise.

the fortuitous baker: Midnight Snack Series: Pizza
http://fortuitousbaker.blogspot.com/2012/05/midnight-snack-series-pizza.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. Midnight Snack Series: Pizza. So for the final night of the Midnight Snack Series I made homemade pizza. Will and I are huge pizza lovers, and that is the real reason I decided to do this series in the first place! Last week I was watching "Good Eats" (surprise surprise) and the episode Flat is Beautiful. After watching the episode a few more times, I decided to go for it. After my success with Alton's bread recipe. So I started over. For round two I used the same recipe, only I...
