Breakfast may or not be the most important meal of the day, but it is certainly one of the most beloved meals.  Egg in the hole falls right into this category.  It goes my many names, Egg in the hole, egg basket, egg toast to name just a few.  It's undoubtedly the simplest of almost any recipe you will make.  When it's early and you want something good, egg in the hole will satisfy just abut any breakfast craving.  It is made in just a few simple steps.  And today for the first time in history, we are making the egg in the hole on our Baking Steel Mini.   

Bar pizza is a Massachusetts creation of delicious proportions. It’s not the type of thing you’d see in a high-end restaurant or even a by-the-slice joint. It feels most at home in dimly lit dive bars. 

I’ve been wanting to make pizza rolls for about as long as I can remember. The technique is super simple, roll or stretch out your dough into a rectangle form and coat it with tomato sauce and cheese.

One of my goals for 2019 is to make more Vegan Pizzas. I talked about this right after my 50th Birthday bash last year and it’s time to start sharing some fresh ideas.

Our top five recipes of 2018. These are in no particular order, they are all simply awesome.

Garlic Knots have been around for years and years and frankly, we still love 'em! Invented back in the day in New York, scraps of pizza dough were ripped apart and wrapped around a couple fingers and thrown into the ovens.

With Christmas just over a week away, the search has begun for the perfect cookie to leave out for Santa!  Well, Baking Steel has got your back and hopefully a place on the "nice list" for this killer cookie tip.   

With a perfect texture, you need a flavor that is just as special. These cookies deliver. They contain what might sound like an unusual-sounding melange of mix-ins, including oats, chocolate and peanut butter chips, potato chips, and pretzels.

So I basically cut the dough in half and let it proof for a couple of hours before the bake. My Baking Steel needed a good hour preheat anyway, so there was plenty of time for a good proof.

The majority of the country cooks a big Turkey for Thanksgiving. That’s easy to say. Most of them also cook the bird far too long. They wait for that glorious “PLASTIC THERMOMETER” to pop, leave it in or an extra 15 minutes,

I’m pretty sure everyone has had a Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie at least once in their lifetime before. They are the iconic cookie that made the industry what it is today. Fun fact, the Original Toll House Cookie factory was only one town away from where I grew up, in Whitman, MA

Pair this thin crust pizza dough with a scorching hot Baking Steel and you will be making pizza that rivals the best pizzerias on the planet. All from your home kitchen. Thin is in...

The mission of Beyond Meat is to create the future of protein made directly from plants. Even if you are meat-eater, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much flavor is packed into each and every plant based burger.

Mediocre French toast is easy to come by: it’s served in diners and kitchens everywhere. Excellent French toast, on the other hand, is a bit more elusive.

Let’s hear it for a vegetable medley pizza! I decided to take a mini-break from pizza with cheese, so this pie was my first attempt at “cheese-free”. (Maybe I’m just getting ready for World Vegan day on November 1st.)

Pizza and burgers, together at long and delicious last. This pizza packs a one-two punch of party food flavor by combining cheeseburger fixings on a perfectly cooked pizza. 

Scones have a bad reputation, largely owing to those triangle shaped atrocities that you’re afraid to break your teeth on at sub-par chain coffee shops.

Thinking our beloved Baking Steel baking is for no other purpose than creating the ideal pizza?

Think again.

Caramelized onions are hands-down, one of my favorite pizza toppings.  And, I'm not alone.  Every week in our pizza class, these sweet, yet savory morsels are the first ingredient our "students" reach for.  Elevating all of our pies to culinary legitness, these onions are the bomb!  Lucky for you, they are easy to recreate at home and today we're telling you how to make fool proof caramalized onions. 

This is a spin on the classic eggplant parmesan. We ditched the pasta for a 3 day fermented pizza dough.

To give our cinnamon buns an extra kick, we decided to use our coffee pizza dough recipe as the base. We wanted the taste to rival that of IKEA. I think we nailed it.

With the master dough in mind, today we are going to try an alternative liquid. We are going to substitute the water for Starbucks coffee.

This easy pie dough recipe makes 2 portions, think a top and a bottom crust. This is a great recipe for two reasons. First, make it once and you will absolutely want to make it again. You can use the leftover dough to make hand pies or small individual pies and you won't have to tell anyone.

We ditched the pie plate for this slab. Frankly, we always had issues with those glass pyrex dishes anyways.

After reading and testing and eating lots of Kenji’s: Best Crispy Roast Potatoes Ever Recipe, I wanted to try and get a similar result without the use of oil. The use of oil is almost a staple in every facet of cooking, but more and more information is coming out about lowering your intake of oils.

“Healthy pizza” might sound like an oxymoron, or like something you’d find in the freezer aisle of your local grocery store. But this avocado and tomato pizza delivers on the promise. 

I am just diving into Marc Vetri's new book, Mastering Pizza.  They say don't judge a book by its cover.  This one may convince you otherwise.  

Today is a big one: I’m turning 50 years old.

I consider this the midway-point of my life. Of all the birthdays I’ve ever had, this just might be the most impactful one. It has triggered a lot of thoughts about my life so far. About the mistakes I’ve made, the goals I’ve set for myself and my ability to fulfill my own dreams.
