The Baking Bucket List: 2018

  • Breads

    The bread and butter of baking. Literally. (DISCLAIMER: Butter not included)

    • Thin crust pizza
      Slim. Crispy. Italian. Covered in tomato sauce and cheese. Anyway, that's enough about last night's date. I want to perfect a deliciousy thin pizza dough I can drown in olive oil and cover with spicy toppings.
      • Sourdough
        Trendy. Hipstery. Requested by Katrina who wants to live vicariously through me.
        • Corn tortillas
          Tortillas. Tortilla. Don't you just love saying that word? Nope? Just me? I live in México (cool, aren't I?) so these are a must for my baking bucket list. Are they a bread? Do you bake them? I don't know so if anyone could let me know, please do.
          • Brown Bread
            Dead
            • Pan de muerto
              Bread of the dead. Traditional Mexican recipe.

            • Pastry

              Because it wouldn't be a baking bucket list without them.

              • Choux
                A-CHOUX! Bless you. Choux pastry. No mean feat.
                • Rough Puff
                  "F*** YOU LOOKIN' AT MATE?" A bit more street that it's standard puff cousin.
                  • Filo
                    Filo. Feel-Oh. Yep.
                    • Chocolate shortcrust
                      Because regular shortcrust is a bit too simple
                      • Hot water crust pastry
                        Pie. Possibly with mash. Life doesn't get much better than this.

                      • Cakes & sponges

                        I love sponge. Nothing more to add.

                        • Genoise
                          Named after the Italian city of Genoa, apparently.
                          • Chiffon
                            Oil based ;)
                            • Sticky toffee pudding
                              With ginger. Because Mary Berry said so.
                              • Mirror glaze cake
                                Gotta check out the new trends
                                • An elaborately iced cake
                                  Can you tell I'm running out of ideas?
                                  • Fondant
                                    Fondant covered cake. Seems to be all the rage, even though most people would rather eat glass than fondant icing.

                                  • Other

                                    I couldn't think of a category to fit all of these things into

                                    • Doughnuts
                                      Or Donuts. Without holes. These will be filled to the BRIM.
                                      • Biscotti
                                        Somewhere in between her best friends straightscotti and gayscotti
                                        • Pretzels
                                          Salty goodness
                                          • French meringue
                                            Ooh la la!
                                            • Swiss meringue
                                              The most neutral of all the meringues. Has a penchant for cuckoo clocks and banking.
                                              • Italian meringue
                                                *insert witty caption here*
                                                • Macarons
                                                  Not to be confused with Macron, Macaroons, or CAMEROOOOON! You can read my Maceron baking adventure on the blog at www.bakingforgranted.com/blog/macaronssss
                                                  • Cholocate ganache
                                                    Has a lot of panache. Chocolate ganache was included in the Macaron blog: www.bakingforgranted.com/blog/macaronssss
                                                    • Baked Alaska
