STOCKING UP THE PANTRY THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Once upon a time, grocery stores weren’t the primary destination to put a meal on the table. Soup didn’t come out of a can, a helper didn’t come out of a box, and fast food had to be caught. Families worked long and hard together to store up enough food to last them through the winter, and the majority of that supply was produced on their own land.

Join me as I walk you through how to make these classic kaiser rolls from start to finish. If you’re new to the Kitchen though, you’re about to find out that I do things a bit differently here…

GET READY TO MAKE BAKERY-STYLE KAISER ROLLS

We don’t need very much when making kaiser rolls from scratch because the ingredients are simple and the tools are minimal. For one, we will need a kitchen scale to weigh the ingredients. As convenient as cup measurements are, they aren’t precise, and precision is key for bakery-style kaiser rolls. The other tool you might want, apart from a couple of baking sheets, is a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. While you could work this dough by hand, it is quite sticky, so a stand mixer is ideal if you want to keep everything as neat and tidy as possible. If you plan on baking these rolls a lot, you might want to consider investing in a kaiser roll stamp, or you can do as I do and knot the buns.

THE INSPIRATION FOR A VINTAGE LEMONADE RECIPE

Canada's Favorite Cook Book antique copy

A few years ago, my mother came across a well-loved copy of Canada’s Favourite Cook Book in an antique shop. It’s aged and ragged with faded sauce stains and bonus recipe cards that were cut out of cereal boxes. This book dates back to 1910 and is a compilation of recipes sent by ladies from both Canada and the United States who were eager to share their best recipes. The only problem? Well, if you’re the least bit familiar with vintage recipes, you’ll know that they can be a bit vague…
