The recipes and techniques in Baking Made Easy cover everything from simple sweets to artisan breads. Throughout the series, I aim to satisfy bakers of all levels, whether a beginner, a holiday baker and also those who are more experienced “every day” bakers.

Now…Just to wet your appetite, here are just some of the things you’ll learn to bake in this series…
On one show, one of the recipes featured, is my Chocolate, Chocolate-Chip Brownies that are swirled with a luscious sweetened cream cheese filling.
Here’s a slab of them cooli.
Do I really have to tell you how good these are?

Can’t you just taste them???
And, this is a batch of savory muffins, that’s perfect for Thanksgiving or for a soup and salad lunch or supper! It’s my Triple Corn and Pepper Muffins–tender, textural and yummy.

Then, in another show, I demonstrate a professional formula to turn out beautiful 6-strand braided loaves of Challah. - See more at:
I also show you how to turn the same dough into chubby sandwich loaves. This dough is so versatile– that I call it ”a bread for life!” - See more at:

Wouldn’t you love to serve this elegant marbled pound cake? - See more at:
And, what about these Peanut Butter and Jam Hearts–which are my best friend, Kathy’s, favorite cookies! I’ve never met anyone that didn’t go crazy over them! - See more at:

On another show I feature my homemade biscuit mix which has really helped me, as a busy mother, to get some of our family’s favorites into the oven much quicker. Below is just one of the ways I use the mix on the show–to turn out these outrageous Orange-Scented Currant Scones. - See more at:
On another day, I share my secrets for having a pizza party (even for a crowd!). - See more at:
And then I take the same dough and turn it into all sorts of delicious things.

And also Herb-Parmesan Grissini,On yet another show, I teach how to make a delicious assortment of homemade flat-breads which can be enjoyed all day long.

Here’s a collossal stack of my crisp and savory sesame matzo crackers–that (I promise) will change your opinion of matzo forever!And here (below) are some light and tender homemade flour tortillas, whether for breakfast burritos, lunch time wraps or dinner-time fajitas! - See more at:

And who wouldn’t want to wake up to these.
Fresh baked Cinnamon Buns on a cozy holiday morning!
There’s Jumbo Black and White Cookies–A perfect example of something that’s usually purchased that, when made at home, is so much better!

The texture of these cookies is so tender–with just a hint of lemon, making their taste bright and light–while being oh-s0-rich at the same time!

Oh and here’s Miss Mango, my sweet Lab. She’s always standing by, hoping, wishing and praying that something falls on the floor. (I have not used a dust-buster once since she was born…no joke.) Mango is always around during the shows. She’s my “baking-bud.”

Here’s a parmesan crisp–a disc, that can be made and broken into shards and either eaten “as is” or served as a savory garnish on a salad. I also show how to mold this disc, when hot, to form individual serving bowls –which is an awesome thing to do for guests to turn an ordinary “salad course” into something really special.
Ahhh…Here’s one from the American Pie show…Lemon-Orange Meringue Pie; tangy, sweet, crisp, fluffy-totally delish. - See more at:

Here’s another–My Crisp Apple-Cinnamon Galette.
Here’s a Mixed Berry Double Crust Pie.
Here are some examples from one show that’s all about “baking with whimsy”…Here are my life-size cigar cookies which I show you how to make–and serve with an edible ash mixture– which elevates the experience of these cookies to crazy heights. What an amazing dessert to help celebrate something wonderful–A new baby, a new job, a New Year! - See more at:

And they’re easier than you think!
And how about a savory cookie! That’s right–here’s my crisp Garlic and Chive tuiles –beyond delish–and just perfect to serve with wine and cheese during the holidays!

Everyone loves Rugelach! Well, these are just over the top –texturally, taste-wise and aesthetically–all completely homemade (even the fillings!) And, if you follow my timing strategy, putting these beauties together is really a snap!

Mango letting her nose be her guide—She wants those rugelach SO badly.
So…I hope I’ve given you enough to want to chew on! Now, it’s time to learn how and I hope you’ll let me teach you. Be sure to check out your local PBS stations. (If you don’t see the show listed, ask for it!) And, if the PBS station in your area hasn’t yet picked up the show, the series begins airing nationally on WE tv® on October 31. Check out the Baking Made Easy website for more timing information. Can’t wait to bake with you! Laur.

Did your son or daughter want an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas but you were reluctant to get him/her one because of the "wheat" issue? Well my brother gave one to my daughter last year along with a years supply of Gluten Free Quick Bake mixes that he ordered on Amazon. It was an incredible gift and he is the most thoughtful uncle EVER! Alas, the year has gone by so quick and so have those mixes he purchased.
We needed a new plan. The recipe below is our new "frugal" solution to gluten free easy bake mixes. I am using ingredients that are easy to find without special ordering. Make the dry portions up ahead of time and store them in the snack sized zip lock bags.

2 Tablespoons Betty Crocker Gluten Free Bisquick
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa
3/4 teaspoon Butter, room temperature (oil works too)
2 Tablespoons Almond Milk
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa.
Add butter and milk. Mix very well. Batter will be thick.
Scoop batter into greased baking pan that comes with the toy oven.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
We have the Ultimate Easy Bake Oven
We purchased the checker cake accessory pack that includes two round rings so you can make a round layer cake.
Double this recipe to make a sheet cake in the sheet cake pan included in the ultimate oven packaging.
This recipe makes a tad bit more batter than is needed. It won't overflow but caution is needed.
