No-Knead Pumpkin Rolls with Brown Sugar Glaze

water

yeast (1 package)

milk

butter

sugar

pumpkin puree

salt

all-pupose flour

brown sugar

cinnamon

ginger

nutmeg

pecans

Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit a few minutes until the yeast is dissolved.

Meanwhile, warm the milk and butter in a small saucepan on the stove top until the butter is melted. Combine this with the sugar in a large heat-proof mixing bowl and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Let the milk mixture cool until it is just warm to the touch - NOT HOT. Then stir in the yeast and the pumpkin. Add the salt and five cups of the flour all at once, stirring until all the flour has been absorbed. Squish it between your hands if you&#x27;re having trouble incorporating the last of the flour. The dough will be sticky, but should come together in a shaggy ball. If it&#x27;s still more the consistency of cookie batter, work in an additional 1/2 cup of flour.

Cover the dough and let it rise for 1-3 hours. During this time, it should double in bulk. At this point, you can punch the dough down and refrigerate it overnight or continue shaping the rolls.

To shape the rolls (either immediately or with the refrigerated dough), sprinkle your work surface with a little flour and dump the dough on top. Pat it down into a rough rectangle and then use a floured rolling pin to roll it into a rectangular shape about a half an inch thick, longer than it is wide. If the dough gets sticky, sprinkle a little more flour on the dough&#x27;s surface and on your hands.

Melt the butter in the microwave and stir in the brown sugar and the spices. Spread this over the rectangle of dough, leaving an inch of bare dough at the top. Sprinkle one cup of the toasted pecans over the dough, if using. Starting at the edge closest to you, roll the dough into a cylinder and pinch it closed at the top.

Rub a tablespoon of soft butter into the bottom of two 9x13 baking dishes, two 9-inch cake pans, or a combination. Using a bench cutter or a sharp knife, cut the cylinder into individual rolls 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick. Place them into your baking dishes so they have a little wiggle room on all sides to rise. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise until they fill the pan and look puffy, 30 minutes for already-warm dough and 1 hour for dough that&#x27;s been refrigerated.

About 20 minutes before baking, begin heating the oven to 375°. When the rolls are ready, bake them for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden and starting to look toasted around the edges. Rotate the pans halfway through cooking.

While they are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and butter. When the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and salt. Stir until the brown sugar has melted. Remove from heat and strain into a mixing bowl to remove any sugar clumps. Stir in the powdered sugar. This should form a thick but pourable glaze.

Let the baked rolls cool for about five minutes and then pour the glaze on top. Sprinkle the remaining cup of pecans over the top, if more nuttiness is desired. Eat them immediately. Leftovers will keep for several days and are best reheated for a minute in the microwave.

Pumpkin Muffins with Eggnog Cream Cheese Swirl

cream cheese, softened

vanilla

dark rum

unsalted butter,

eggs

pumpkin

unsulphured dark molasses

all-purpose flour

baking soda

cloves

black pepper

To make the filling, whip the softened cream cheese with a whisk or hand mixer until very smooth and creamy. Whip in the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, rum, nutmeg, and cinnamon. (Can be made a day ahead and chilled in the refrigerator, if desired.)

To make the muffins, heat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and pumpkin. Add the brown sugar and molasses and whisk until smooth. Dump in the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper, and whisk until just combined. The batter will be relatively thick.

Take out about 3/4 cup batter and set aside. Divide the remaining batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. They will be nearly full. Use a spoon to poke a deep cavity in the center of each muffin, and fill this cavity with the chilled cream cheese mixture. Put a tablespoon of the reserved batter on top of the filling.

Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling in the center is puffed and set, just barely golden brown, and the muffin batter is fully cooked through. Cool at least 5 minutes before eating.

If you&#x27;re feeling celebratory, serve with a squirt of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Store for up to 5 days at room temperature in a covered container.

How To Make Pumpkin Muffins

Cooking spray or paper muffin liners

baking powder

pumpkin purée

vanilla extract

Prep the pan and heat the oven to 350°F. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, grease or line a 12-well standard muffin tin with paper liners.

Mix the dry ingredients. Place the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine; set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer and large bowl.) Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.

Beat in the eggs. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until well combined.

Beat in the pumpkin purée and vanilla. Beat in the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Transfer the batter to the muffin pan. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin wells (they will be about 3/4 full).

Bake the muffins for 18 to 22 minutes. Bake until the muffins are set and a tester inserted into the center one comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 18 to 22 minutes.

Cool the muffins. Let the muffins cool 10 minutes before removing from the pan. If you greased the pan, run a thin knife around each muffin to loosen it from the pan first if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

A moist and tender pumpkin bread that&#x27;s even better than the one from Starbucks. 

Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Cooking spray

pumpkin purée (about 2 cups)

vegetable or canola oil

pumpkin pie spice

roasted, salted pumpkin seeds (aka pepitas)

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.

Place the sugar, pumpkin purée, oil, and eggs in a large bowl and whisk until smooth and combined. Add the pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk to combine. Add the flour and fold it in with a rubber spatula until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, then gently press them into the batter to ensure they stick. 

Bake until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. 

Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

buttermilk

pumpkin purée (I prefer Libby)

Canola oil (or another other neutral oil), for cooking

Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and spices in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.

Place the buttermilk, pumpkin purée, egg yolks, and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until almost combined, but with a few clumps of flour still remaining. Stir the reserved egg whites into the mixture until just combined. Set the batter aside to rest for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the skillet.

Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a large cast iron skillet or griddle on medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1/4 cup portions of batter to the pan, pressing it out with the bottom of the measuring cup to help it spread out a bit. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and a bit crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking until set, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes more. (I like to do a small test pancake to adjust the temperature before cooking the remaining batter.) Re-heat the griddle before cooking additional batches of pancakes.

Serve the pumpkin pie pancakes with a heavy dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, a slap of butter, and a pile of whipped cream.

Baked Pumpkin Steel Cut Oatmeal

unsalted butter, divided

steel cut oats

Heat the oven to 375°F. In a 3-quart (or larger) saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. (Your burner shouldn&#x27;t be on at full blast, but the butter should melt quickly.) When the butter foams up, stir in the oats and fry them, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until they smell toasted.

Push the oats up against the side of the pan, and drop the second tablespoon of butter in the now clear center of the pan. Dump in the pumpkin puree. Fry it in the butter, only stirring after about a minute. Stir in the sugar and spices and continue frying the puree for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the color darkens slightly and the raw smell disappears. It&#x27;s OK if a few dark brown spots appear as the puree sticks to the pan.

Pour in the milk and whisk everything to combine. Whisk in the water, vanilla and salt. Put a lid on the pan and put it in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven, and carefully lift the lid (be cautious as steam will billow out). Stir the oatmeal. It will look quite loose still, but the oats should be al dente and tender. The oatmeal will thicken rapidly as it cools.

Eat immediately with a drizzle of cream or milk and maple syrup, or let cool and then refrigerate. Heat up bowls in the microwave or on the stovetop.

A recipe for pumpkin spice steel-cut oatmeal made in the slow cooker. 

Slow Cooker Creamy Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

Cooking spray, olive oil, or coconut oil

steel-cut oats

maple syrup

cinnamon stick

For serving: heavy cream, ground cinnamon, and additional maple syrup (optional)

Coat the bottom and sides of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray, olive oil, or coconut oil.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the oats and stir frequently until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Push the oats up to the side of the pan and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the center of the pan. Add the pumpkin purée to the center of the pan and cook without stirring for 1 minute. Add the ginger, nutmeg, and cloves into the purée and cook, stirring occasionally, until the purée darkens slightly and the raw smell disappears, 3 to 4 minutes more.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared slow cooker. Add the water, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon stick, vanilla, and salt and stir well to combine.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 8 hours. When finished, much of the pumpkin purée will have separated from the oats — don&#x27;t panic! Stir well with a wooden spoon to recombine everything, and remove the cinnamon stick before serving. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and finish with a splash of heavy cream, a dusting of ground cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

An easy recipe for 3-ingredient sheet pan gnocchi with mushrooms and shallots.

Mixed Mushroom Sheet Pan Gnocchi

mushrooms

shallots

potato gnocchi

olive oil

thyme

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400ºF. 

Slice 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms, chop 2 medium shallots, and place both on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 1 pound fresh, shelf-stable, or frozen potato gnocchi. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and toss well to combine. Spread out in an even layer.

Roast, stirring halfway through, until the gnocchi are plump and the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes total. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

This Italian-inspired recipe features salmon fillets gently poached in a garlicky fresh tomato broth.

Salmon in Crazy Water

garlic,

fennel seeds

red pepper flakes

plum tomatoes,

onion,

Kosher salt

dry white wine

salmon fillet,

Coarsely chopped fresh parsley,

Good bread, for serving (optional)

Heat the olive oil in a large, high-side sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, onion, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and sauté until the tomatoes break down to release their juices and the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the water and wine and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces by about one fourth, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt, as needed.

Season the salmon with salt and place it in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the fish just begins to flake, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the thickest fillet should read 120°F to 130°F for medium-rare or 135°F to 145°F if you prefer your salmon more well done.

Transfer the salmon fillets to 4 shallow bowls and spoon the broth around them. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, if desired.

These hearty muffins are mixed with cornmeal for extra heft and texture, and loaded with thick-cut chunks of ham, sharp cheddar, and a pinch of chives.

Ham and Cheddar Lunch Box Muffins

yellow cornmeal

garlic powder

unsalted butter, melted and cooled, divided

cheddar cheese

chives, divided

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375°F. Line a standard 12-well muffin pan with papers liners or coat the wells with cooking spray.

Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Some lumps are fine. Fold in the cheese, all but 1/2 cup of the ham, and 2 tablespoons of the chives.

Spoon the batter into the muffin wells, filling each about 3/4 full. Top the muffins with the reserved ham, sprinkle with the remaining chives, and sprinkle with pepper. Top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining melted butter.

Bake until the tops just begin to brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Swirl

(7 ounces) all-purpose flour

(8 ounces) sugar

(4 ounces) canola oil

(8 1/2 ounces) pumpkin purée

sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

cream cheese,

(8 ounces) powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper so there is an overhang on each long side. Coat the parchment paper with baking spray or butter and flour.

Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium or large bowl and set aside.

Combine the egg and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Turn the speed down to low and, pouring very slowly, drizzle the oil down the side of the bowl. Add the pumpkin, sour cream, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. (Alternately, this can be done with an electric hand mixer.)

Turn the mixer off. Add the flour mixture and fold in by hand until just combined. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl used for the flour, and set aside.

Rinse out and dry the bowl of the stand mixer and the paddle attachment in order to make the filling. Combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup of the pumpkin batter, and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the batter and smooth it out. Cover filling with remaining batter.Bake the pumpkin bread for 1 hour, or until the center springs back when pressed with your fingertip. (If your finger sinks, bake 10 to 15 minutes longer.) Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then pull the loaf out using the parchment paper “handles” to cool completely.

The pumpkin bread can be stored tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for up to three days, or frozen for up to 2 weeks. Thaw overnight at room temperature before serving.

No-Knead Cran-Walnut Pumpkin Toasting Bread

(2 ounces) walnuts

cranberries

(8 ounces) water

yeast

Heat the oven to 350°F. Scatter the walnuts in a metal pie tin and roast them until toasted and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Roughly chop.

Cover the cranberries with boiling water and soak for at least 10 minutes then drain.

Combine the water and yeast in a large mixing bowl and let sit for a few minutes for the yeast to dissolve. Stir in the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Add 3 1/2 cups of flour to form a loose, shaggy batter.

Add the drained cranberries, chopped walnuts, and 1/2 cup additional flour to the dough. Use your hands to squeeze the dough and work in the additional ingredients. The dough will be very sticky and loose at this point. Scrape as much dough from your hands as you can, cover the bowl, and let the dough rise for at least 2 hours or up to 5 hours. It should at least double in bulk during this time.

At this point, you can proceed with making the bread or you can refrigerate the dough for a few hours or up to a day. Chilled dough will be easier to work with and shape into a ball.

Sprinkle your work surface generously with flour and turn the dough out on top. (If making two loaves or rolls, divide the dough now and shape each loaf or roll as follows.) With floured hands, fold the dough in half toward you so the un-floured surface is sealed inside and the outside is coated in flour. If the outside is still sticky, rub it gently with a litte more flour.

Flour your hands again and pick up the round of dough. It should feel fairly loose, but should be firm enough to shape. Begin shaping the dough into a round ball by smoothing the top and tucking the dough underneath (check out this video on shaping round loaves). When the dough feels tight and smooth, set it on a piece of parchment. Let the loaf rise uncovered until puffy and nearly doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Heat the oven to 450°F. If you have a baking stone, set it in the oven now. If not, set a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.

When ready to bake, slide the dough still on the parchment onto the baking stone with a peel or the back of another baking sheet. (If cooking on a baking sheet, remove the sheet from the oven and quickly lift the bread on top.) Cut a few slash-marks in the top of the loaf with a serrated knife. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden-brown and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.

Cool completely before slicing. Baked loaves will keep in a paper bag for several days or can be frozen for up to a month.

Broccoli moves to the center of the plate in this simple yet show-stopping vegetarian main dish.

Broccoli Steaks with Walnut-Raisin Salsa

(about broccoli

olive oil, divided

sherry vinegar

golden raisins

walnuts, toasted and chopped

ricotta salata, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)

parsley

garlic clove, grated or minced

Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.

Trim off about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the broccoli stems to remove their dried ends and use a vegetable peeler to peel away the tough, fibrous skin on the outside of the stems to reveal the pale green flesh. Halve each broccoli head from the stem end lengthwise to get 4 halves and place them on a rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss gently to coat, rubbing the oil onto the stems. Lightly season all over with salt and pepper. Place the halves, cut-side down, on the pan and roast until browned and caramelized underneath, 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the broccoli and continue to roast until tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and raisins and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the raisins to plump and soften. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the walnuts, ricotta salata, parsley, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Transfer the roasted broccoli steaks to a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the salsa generously over the top and serve.

Thick cubes of brioche are infused with rich custard packed with warm spices and a double dose of pumpkin, then topped with a brown sugar-pecan streusel.

Pumpkin French Toast Casserole

Unsalted butter

brioche (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces

half-and-half

sugar (optional)

Maple syrup,

(1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Make the casserole: Generously coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Place the bread cubes evenly in the dish and set aside.

Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the half-and-half, pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. Evenly pour the custard over the bread. Use a spoon to push the bread down and stir so all the cubes are soaked through. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven is heating. Meanwhile, make the crumb topping.

Make the crumb topping: Stir the flour, sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium bowl. Drizzle with the butter and stir until big, slightly floury crumbs form.

Sprinkle the crumb topping over the casserole. Bake uncovered until the casserole is set, puffed, and the top is golden-brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes. Right before serving, dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
