We’re not all Federation-lovers at Kitchen Overlord. Some of us follow a warrior’s path. While fresh Gagh and your Earthican live calamari are a good start, the mighty Klingon empire also deserves tribute in the form of delicious food! These blood orange pull apart breads…
Today, we’re boldly going to a world where boring old pain d’epi bread is transformed into a tableside declaration of your loyalty to Starfleet. A lot of people shy away from pain d’epi because the loaf goes stale faster than an internet meme. A day…
Avengers! You have one heck of a task ahead of you if you really want to assemble these heroically tasty rolls. You’re essentially making two different flavors of cinnamon(esque) rolls plus two different icings, then topping them off with a tasty slice of fried banana.…
Behold. This is the bread of deception. That dark brown color implies whole grains and exotic flours full of bowel bulking healthy goodness. I’m here to tell you it’s all a lie. This fluffy bread is freaking delicious because it’s full of chocolate and honey…
Today is Valentine’s Day, so by law, I am required to make a “romantic” post or else the goons at Hallmark will use my dough hook to gouge out my kneecaps. Therefore, you’re getting some pretty easy Nutella or cinnamon stuffed heart shaped rolls. Since…
Nothing says romance like ritual cannibalism. Use this anatomical heart pull apart loaf to pretend you’re vampires feasting on the heart of that asshole in HR who gave a promotion to Brad. Alternately, you could engage in a little Indiana Jones cosplay where the sexy…
This is a story of good intentions. I have an entirely irrational love of David Lynch’s 1984 science fiction epic, Dune. (This is almost unrelated to my entirely rational and well thought out love of Frank Herbert’s Dune books. These two things should never be confused.)…
You’ve seen the banana bread fields. The bread froze and thawed beautifully. Now, my fellow geeks, you need the rest of the Catan map. I’ve had a crazy busy weekend. Making four kinds of original bread and assembling them all into an edible, playable Settlers…
In a galaxy far, far away, there’s nothing disturbing about ritually eating someone’s face. Honest. Keep telling yourself that as you tug off strands of tasty Wookie flesh. You’re not channeling your inner zombie. Heck, you’re not even the same species, so you can’t even…
Prepare to boldly go where no French bread has gone before. Tonight, I decided to take what is commonly described as a “foolproof” recipe and see if I could screw it up using the transporter, a bit of Wil Riker’s DNA, and some random food…
After yesterday’s Ood-tastic failure, I decided to try making King’s Hawaiian Style bread again today. I had a couple of ideas for making this recipe work. Increase the sugar, increase the ginger, and most of all, proof the yeast. Most of the Hawaiian Bread knockoff…
Behold! The adorable Ood dinner rolls won’t sing you to your sleep, but they will silently judge your choice of entree. I’m swamped, so tonight you only get photos. I promise the snark filled recipe will come later. For those of you who can’t wait,…
I’m taking this one loaf at a time. At least, that’s the plan. Unfortunately, so darn many bread recipes are for two huge, hearty loaves. I can see why that’s convenient, but I live in a post-South Beach diet world. Carbs are sinful indulgences, not…
I couldn’t take the responsibility for creating and destroying another yeast based civilization two days in a row, so today, I decided it was time to venture into the world of chemically leavened quick breads. Alternately, I realized my uneaten bananas were on the verge…
You wish you were here. For some unknown but deliriously wonderful reason, this challah came out of the oven smelling exactly like fresh donuts. Not Krispie Kreme glazed donuts you picked up some time after noon when hit with the hungover munchies. No, these loaves…
I’ve clearly lost my mind. This year, to counter my notorious grinchitude, I was gifted a Kitchenaid stand mixer. Surely, the logic went, she’ll go insane buying attachments, one of which will make her heart grow three sizes big, and she will finally discover the…
