A Baker’s Dozen
Break out your rolling pin and flour and dust off your baker's pride. Our best batch of baking recipes has something for every skill level.
Weekends are the perfect to crank up your oven. Unlike the 20-minute meals we turn to as dinnertime salvation during the week, baking cakes, cookies, breads, and muffins take time, patience and concentration. Long leisurely weekends are perfect for a little baking, and frankly, it's absolute therapy to pound a stiff dough or beat a creamy batter after a long, hard week. Just be sure and bake enough to go around. When it comes to whipping up a batch of homemade goodness, sharing is the best part.
