Your New Favorite Zucchini Recipe {Thin, Crisp, Irresistible 💯)
|
Good Morning, Friends. A few weeks ago, after I shared here that I had made zucchini Scarpaccia and was dissatisfied with its texture, my friend Caroline texted me: "I'm obsessed with Scarpaccia. Such a good use of all the zucchini. I make a double batch every weekend and snack on it all week. One of my favorite summer recipes." She sent me a photo... ... and a link to the recipe she uses, noting her changes: she omits the breadcrumbs, uses a sheetpan (as opposed to a 9x13), and bakes it for twice as long. It sounded promising, so I gave it a go and was so, so happy with the result: it emerged from the oven crisp at the edges but soft and creamy inside. I have since made it multiple times, and every time, I have had a hard time refraining from eating the entire pan alone. Friends, if I know anything, it's that you're going to love this one. Please let me know when you polish off 2 pounds of zucchini. Alone. In one sitting. Never will I be so proud.

Hi Friends, Remember that cheater's croissant dough recipe we made in early summer? This week I used the dough to make morning buns, following the recipe from Tartine: Revised Edition, and while they didn't immediately transport me back to my favorite cafe, they turned out very well, and the children were very, very happy. The buns reheated well on multiple mornings, and with every reheat, the kitchen filled with the smell of cinnamon and orange zest. Heaven! I'm hoping to post the recipe...
Friends, hello! A few weeks ago, after I shared my struggles with this cornmeal galette dough recipe, a few of you, incredibly, made it anyway and shared your experience in the comments and via email. Inspired by your positive notes, I revisited the recipe, and after a few trials, I found the solution ultimately to be simple: decrease the cornmeal and mix the dough slightly more aggressively. I made a video, which I think is the best teacher for these sorts of recipes, and I updated the post:...
Friends, hi, how are you? Thank you for your kind notes after last week's letter. On Sunday, I drove 9 hours from Pittsburgh back to Ella's school. We spent the night in a hotel, and in the morning we parted again. No tears! Progress. In the spirit of goodbyes and first days of school, a few of you sent me this WSJ editorial. It's beautifully written and made me weep. Can't recommend it enough 🤣 This week, I baked this sourdough sandwich bread using the same technique several of you have...
