Soft, gooey, and spiced just right, you’d never know this breakfast classic is made without gluten. A brown sugar and cinnamon filling delivers familiar flavor, and because gluten-free bread takes longer to bake and has to reach a higher internal temperature than bread with gluten, a drizzle of heavy cream before baking keeps the rolls […] LEGGI TUTTO
In the late 2010s, bakeries in Seoul, South Korea, began promoting a creamy cheese- and herb-filled garlic bread bun on social media, and it quickly gained international exposure. Although garlic bread is beloved worldwide, what sets the Korean style apart is using soft enriched bread, a lightly sweetened whipped cheese filling, and egg-enriched garlic butter […] LEGGI TUTTO
It’s common in Chinese bakeries to find sweet buns filled with a thick and creamy custard. We used frangipane, one of our favorite creamy French fillings, for a nutty flavor spin on this Asian staple. A sprinkle of candied almonds on top adds subtle crunch.

These mini versions of classic Italian panettone are bursting with citrusy flavor and packed with chewy dried fruit. Soaking the fruit in aromatic orange liqueur plumps and softens it, which also improves the bread’s texture. Anise seeds add a distinctive sweet and slightly licorice-like flavor profile, enhancing the buns’ complexity and depth. Their charming individual […] LEGGI TUTTO

It has two essential purposes: lock in moisture while keeping your buns light and bouncy and keep them fresher longer. With decadent chocolate and tart cherries folded into soft, buttery-rich brioche, these buns are both elegant and comforting. […] LEGGI TUTTO
Note: There are many varieties and blends of gluten-free flours; gluten-free all-purpose flour is different from a gluten-free cup-for- cup substitution, which does not work well for yeasted products. For this recipe, it’s important to use gluten-free all-purpose flour with a base of rice flour. LEGGI TUTTO
Many bread recipes call for adding a pan of water to the oven while baking. The steam from the water keeps the surface of your dough moist and flexible, delaying the crust formation during the early stages of baking so it can rise beautifully. This creates a more open interior and a crisper crust. Cranberry-Walnut […] LEGGI TUTTO
Though focaccia is traditionally topped with just olive oil and herbs, we’ve found our new favorite breakfast bread by swapping savory for sugar and spice.
Cinnamon Roll Focaccia
Makes 1 (13×9-inch) loaf
1¾ cups (420 grams) water, room temperature (70°F/21°C to 75°F/24°C)4 tablespoons (56 grams) extra-virgin olive oil, divided4¼ cups (540 grams) bread flour3½ teaspoons (10.5 grams) kosher salt1 tablespoon (12 grams) granulated sugar1 (0.25-ounce) package (7 grams) instant yeast*⅓ cup (73 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar2 tablespoons (12 grams) ground cinnamon3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, melted2 ounces (57 grams) cream cheese, room temperature⅓ cup (40 grams) confectioners’ sugar2 tablespoons (30 grams) whole milk
In a large bowl, combine 1¾ cups (420 grams) room temperature water and 2 tablespoons (28 grams) oil; add flour, salt, granulated sugar, and yeast. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough forms. (Dough will be shaggy and tacky.) Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) for 1½ hours, folding dough in bowl every 30 minutes. (To fold, use wet or oiled hands to reach under one side of dough; gently stretch up, and fold over center; repeat on all sides of dough. (See more below))Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan. Brush remaining 2 tablespoons (28 grams) oil onto parchment.Turn out dough into prepared pan; using just your fingertips, gently stretch dough to about a 10×8-inch rectangle. (If dough is tight and will not stretch completely, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes and then try again.)In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of sugar mixture (about ¼ cup or 43 grams) onto dough. Starting at one short side, carefully roll up dough into a log. Place dough lengthwise, seam side down, in pan. Let stand for 10 minutes. Using your fingertips, gently stretch dough to fill pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size and jiggly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).Dimple dough using your fingertips, touching pan through dough without tearing dough.Add melted butter to remaining brown sugar mixture, whisking until combined. Spoon onto dough.Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from pan.In another bowl, whisk together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar; whisk in milk until smooth. Drizzle onto warm focaccia. Serve warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
NO NEED TO KNEAD
The traditional practice of kneading is replaced with a simple folding technique in focaccia dough
Oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) for 1½ hours, folding dough in bowl every 30 minutes. As the name implies, a high-hydration dough is relatively wet, so before folding, wet or oil your hands to prevent sticking. Reach under one side of dough, and gently stretch the edge of the dough as high as you can without tearing. Once you reach the top, fold the dough over the center. This motion strengthens the gluten network and is the preferred method to build elasticity for doughs that have high hydration levels. Repeat three more times around bowl to complete one round of folding. Fold the dough in the bowl every 30 minutes for a total of 1½ hours. By the last fold, you should notice the dough has become smooth and elastic. LEGGI TUTTO
