Time to make the annual Hot Cross Buns for Easter Weekend / Good Friday. This year’s variation is distinctly “New Englandy”: Maple Cranberry. Not too sweet, very flavorful and extremely fluffy. Very pleased with the results!

Now that I have started the “Bread in a Dutch Oven” method for making bread, I have decided to branch out and do something besides a plain old white bread boule. I decided to make this Cranberry Walnut and Honey loaf. Again the dough is a little gooey, but it turned out alright at the end. I think the next time, I’ll add a little cinnamon.
It isn’t often that I post pictures taken from my mobile phone as the photos accompanying recipes, but I forgot to bring my Canon with my over the New Year’s long weekend up in the woods. I did want to share this amazing — and crazy-easy — recipe for Blueberry Croissant French Toast Casserole though, and without photos just wouldn’t do. I love this recipe and the best part about it is that you actually make it the evening before so as your drinking your first cup of coffee in the morning, you have nothing to do but wait for the blueberry goodness to arrive. This turned out to be perfect on New Year’s Day morning as I was still feeling effects of the bubbly the night before. Even if you aren’t hungover, what’s better than having your breakfast ready in 25 minutes with minimal effort.
Fresh out of the oven, here we have a variation on my Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Loaves … Blueberry and Red Currant Coffee Cake: Perfect for Breakfast! They really are the same thing, only in a different shape (square instead of a loaf) and this one also has fresh red currants in addition to blueberries (only because I had the currants handy … you can make these all blueberry, all currant or some of each). The recipe comes together quickly, though it does take some time to bake, but once out of the oven, it is ready to serve almost immediately. Definitely one of my favorite recipes.
