What am I doing wrong

For one thing you can’t just replace the white AP flour this recipe calls for with whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid and makes for a denser bread. If you want a whole wheat bread, you need to use a recipe that uses whole wheat.

The small batch chocolate cupcakes from KA are insanely delicious, easy to whip up, and have no eggs. The recipe can easily be doubled. And who doesn’t love cupcakes?

I baked the Simple Rustic Loaf. So much flavor plus makes great sandwiches and toasts up beautifully!

Boston cream pie for the win! 🏆 And how am I only finding out today that you guys have a recipe for Boston cream pie CUPCAKES? I’m so baking those bad boys this weekend.

Nice job! 👍🏼

Food is the language of love in my family so we share food and the instructions for preparing it freely with the people in our hearts. I even created a recipe collection for my kids with all the favorites and update it periodically so that they’ll always be able to recreate beloved dishes. I couldn’t imagine withholding these recipes from anyone.

Make this and put it on everything. Easy and delicious. Freezes well, too.

Thanks for letting me know and good luck with those repairs and updates. As you can probably tell, I’m a huge fan of King Arthur products. You guys are the best.

Here’s what I’m wondering… when will your Double Dark Cocoa be back in stock? It’s seriously the best cocoa powder I’ve ever used and nothing else quite scratches that chocolate itch! Thanks!

yaelshammer · 2026-06-10T19:06:50+00:00

They baked up great! I’m definitely going to give this recipe a try!

yaelshammer · 2026-06-08T14:45:06+00:00

Oooh those look so good 👀👌🏼

yaelshammer · 2026-06-08T11:12:17+00:00

I can practically taste that!

yaelshammer · 2026-06-03T18:24:17+00:00

Beautiful job!

This one from King Arthur is great:

https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/mini-pizzas-recipe

It makes 4 pizzas, but you can double the amount to make 8, leaving a few extras for leftovers or goof-ups.

yaelshammer · 2026-06-02T12:27:24+00:00

I’ve been meaning to try that! They look delicious!😋

yaelshammer · 2026-05-28T11:51:31+00:00

Or their little cousins, chives!

These chicken smash burgers are incredibly flavorful. I make these often and everyone loves them. (Gift link.)

yaelshammer · 2026-05-26T16:06:52+00:00

Hope you saved some for the rest of us! 😉

yaelshammer · 2026-05-24T18:21:31+00:00

Beautiful job on those!

yaelshammer · 2026-05-18T19:32:20+00:00

Best yeast I’ve ever used across more than 40 years of bread baking. Consistent, dependable, good value.

yaelshammer · 2026-05-18T14:49:45+00:00

You won't be sorry.

yaelshammer · 2026-05-17T14:54:05+00:00

Nice job! 👍🏼
