All the rage these days.

Here is B. Dylan Hollis’ version:

I’m all onboard for apple desserts and Julia Child dedicated an entire episode to them.

I am loving that PBS/WGBH are posting old episodes regularly. Mr. Roger’s has a YT channel now, too.

I will admit, it’s not the caramel that scares me in this recipe. It’s the dome!  Here’s the full show:

Revisiting Potato Bread from 2020:

Someone suggested to me to use potato bread dough next time I made cinnamon rolls. It sounded like an idea, but it also made me really, really want potato bread. I don’t believe I’ve ever made it before. And since I had no plans to make cinnamon rolls anytime soon, potato bread it had to be.

I have to tell you, it was fairly simple, and made the most amazing bread. Silky, moist, flavorful, and firm enough to cut into very thin slices.

The only drawback of the recipe is you’ll need either a stand mixer or a bread machine. The dough must be kneaded for about 7 minutes on a high speed. It’s a very sticky dough, difficult to knead by hand and it’s really not possible to get the texture without a machine knead.

Otherwise, it’s straightforward.
