I know some of us are fans of @Des Dreckett and were aware of an interview he did with @Henry Hunter a bit ago - I thought I'd share the whole video here... @Dianne Givens was asking about it

Watching all these unique takes on the Babka makes me want to have and IRL bake along Saturday one day with everyone - not sure how this would look but think that the opportunity to share our creations with each other would be so much fun. And the coffee/tea and conversation would be, yeah...

@Henry Hunter I love the weekend bake alongs whether I'm baking or watch every week I learn something new. I had been looking forward to the bunny bake for weeks and am super happy how they turned out. I know my grand kids will love them.

Baked this last night. Almost didn’t make it to morning. This Lemon Blueberry Quick Bread is one of those bakes that fills your whole kitchen with that warm citrus-berry smell, and then you have to talk yourself out of cutting into it before it even cools. I failed that test. The crumb is tender, the blueberries burst just right, and the lemon keeps it from being too sweet. It’s a quick bread, so no yeast, no waiting, no fuss. Just mix, bake, and try to show some restraint.

I made these for the athletes. And they turned out surprisingly well. I cut up the pineapple sliced it and then I chunked a few slices. Maybe 200 g of them put them in a bowl on paper towel towels, and then put a paper towel on top push down to drain as a lot of of the liquid so the muffins wouldn’t turn out too wet. It worked beautifully tossed the blueberries in some powdered sugar instead of flour to keep them from sinking which worked nicely and toasted the walnuts. Then I placed them in my fancy tall muffin tin liners. Top them with more toasted, walnut and turbinado sugar. Those kids have no idea what they’re eating would cost seven dollars at a bakery. Here’s the recipe Pineapple Blueberry Muffins with Toasted Nuts Moist, tropical muffins built around fresh pineapple and blueberries, with toasted nuts for crunch. The pineapple does the heavy lifting on moisture so these stay tender for days. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 22 minutes Total Time: 37 minutes Yield: 12 standard muffins Ingredients Dry ∙ 240g (2 cups) all-purpose flour ∙ 150g (¾ cup) granulated sugar ∙ 10g (2 tsp) baking powder ∙ 3g (½ tsp) baking soda ∙ 3g (½ tsp) fine salt ∙ 3g (1 tsp) cinnamon Wet ∙ 2 large eggs ∙ 120ml (½ cup) neutral oil or melted butter ∙ 120ml (½ cup) buttermilk (or whole milk + 1 tsp vinegar) ∙ 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract Mix-ins ∙ 200g (1½ cups) fresh pineapple, small dice ∙ 150g (1 cup) fresh blueberries ∙ 75g (½ cup) walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped and toasted Instructions 1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well. 2. Toast your nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
