Easy Overnight Sourdough Focaccia
Look at them holes, isn’t it majestic? I enjoyed the simplicity of un-enriched breads and baguettes so focaccia doesn’t come to the top of mind. I’ve mostly had them at Italian restaurants where they bring them out as a complementary side; there is only a handful of times where I seek out and bought one….
Road to Hana Banana Bread

Pie crust is so versatile. You can use it as crust for bars, tarts or quiche, sprinkle with sugar and bake it up into a buttery sweet biscuit cookie, or grate on cheese, cut into strips and twist it for the lightest, flakiest cheese sticks. The possibilities are endless! Not only that, it is a…

The best light & chewy pizza dough recipe. Long fermentation needed.
Easy Classic Kimchi
I have been making homemade kimchi for years now. It was actually my first fermentation project. The first few batches of kimchi I made were vegan since I was concerned about improperly fermenting animal products. I tried out a few recipes on Pinterest and YouTube, including Mommy Tang’s, and adapted Maangchi’s recipe to make it…
No-Knead Yeasted Artisan Bread
This stupid simple, foul proof, overnight, no-knead bread is so hassle-free that it’s been my go-to artisan yeasted bread recipe for several years. I highly recommend it for anyone new to bread making, not only because it is easy, but because the long overnight ferment makes really good, flavorful bread, and it super convenient– allows…
