Looks like Juniper has found her true calling in sunny Santa Barbara - rolling croissants @alessiapatisserie . She’s already telling me she never wants to go back to cold Canada... I told her she better start saving those pastry paychecks!

Sourdough baguettes are tough!!! The full recipe is posted on the blog and an awesome video (that I worked so hard on so if you watch it please drop a friendly comment) is up on YouTube.

Golden-crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, these doughnuts are naturally leavened and made with a stiff osmotolerant starter and local Ontario dairy for high-quality protein. With a longer ferment and early introduction of sugar, the starter provides the strength necessary to leaven the dough, resulting in a perfect texture. Once fried, fill with your favourite filling and dust with powdered sugar for a delicious dessert.

Sweet memories in the making with my little baking partner Juniper!🍩👩‍👧❤️ Our homemade sourdough doughnuts with vanilla glaze and sprinkles are the perfect treat to brighten up any day 🌞😋

Hazelnut and chocolate panettone. The dough is infused with hazelnut purée and has white, dark and milk chocolate inside.

Nothing brings my family together like a warm, gooey slice of chocolate babka on this special weekend. Happy Family Day everyone!” 🍫👨‍👩‍👧‍👧❤️

Braiding a 4 strand challah. There’s many ways to do a 4 strand but this is a simple way to start.

Had an extra sourdough baguette I missed in the couche so I decided to make a decorative piece. Not my strongest point but something I’d like to work at this year.

They always told me not to play with my food, but today we are making some steam buns as a fun after-school activity! Juniper LOVES playing with dough and this recipe is perfect for that because she gets to make her own shapes and decorate them.
