10 Tools to Take Your Baking Game to the Next Level
Shopping
So you're baking more than ever before, huh?
Biscotti
Recipes
If you don’t have a baking sheet large enough to hold the two loaves of dough side by side with a little room between them, use two sheets. Position the oven racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven before preheating it, and rotate the pans from shelf to shelf and front to back about halfway through baking.
Block Print Flower Cookies
Recipes
These soft butter cookies are made with mooncake molds, reminiscent of block print stamps from Jaipur.
Graham Crackers
Recipes
The dough for these cookies can also be used to make a delicious crust for pies and tarts, such as the Key Lime Tart on page 261; try it for cheesecake, as well.
Sesame Breadsticks
Vegan
Recipes
A basket of unusual breadsticks will vanish in no time. The fact that you scatter the strips of dough on baking sheets rather like pick-up sticks results in great texture: they’re chewy where the strips overlap and crisp where they don’t.
30 Sheet-Pan Dinners (and Desserts) That'll Make Clean-Up a Breeze
Recipes
These sheet-pan dinners are easy to make—and even easier to clean up.
Plain French Bread (Pain Français)
Vegan
Recipes
Editor's note: This Plain French Bread (or Pain Français) recipe accompanies an excerpt from Bob Spitz's book Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child, published on Epicurious on the occasion of Julia Child's Centennial. Count on a minimum of 6 1/2 to 7 hours from the time you start the dough to the time it is ready for the oven, and half an hour for baking. While you cannot take less time, you may take as much more time as you wish by using the delayed-action techniques described at the end of the recipe.
Graham Cracker Crust
Quick
Recipes
Cheesecake is just the beginning of what this no-bake, back-pocket wonder can do.
Graham Cracker Crust
Easy
Recipes
The crumbly texture of a graham cracker crust pairs best with creamy fillings; it is extremely easy to make—just combine cookie crumbs with melted butter and a small amount of sugar, press the mixture into a pie plate, and bake.
Chocolate Birthday Sheet Cake
Recipes
The genius part of this rich and moist sheet cake recipe is the “reverse creaming” method. Instead of creaming butter and sugar before adding the liquid ingredients and flour, you’ll gradually add the liquid ingredients into the flour. As a result, the cake bakes almost perfectly flat—no domed tops, no layers to trim.
Almond Butterscotch Cookies Cups
Recipes
These edible cups are easiest to bake on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, rather than thick silicone baking mats, since they’re whisper thin and somewhat fragile. Overturned teacups make the perfect molds, although you can use anything that’s relatively wide with a flat bottom, such as a custard cup. After baking, if any cookies cool before you’ve had a chance to mold them into cookie cups, simply pop the baking sheet back in the oven for about 30 seconds to make them supple and try again.
No-Knead Fougasse
Quick
Recipes
If you’re a fan of Italian focaccia, give fougasse, its cousin from the South of France, a try. Its chewy texture and signature leaf pattern are irresistible.
Sheet-Pan Brownie Thins
Recipes
These sheet-pan brownies don't require any special equipment. The batter gets spread into a thin layer yielding rich, chewy brownies that are about 1/4-inch thick.
Sheet-Pan Grilled Cheese
Quick
Recipes
Two rimmed baking sheets and a hot oven mimic a giant panini press, making grilled cheese for a crowd a super quick and easy prospect.
Graham Cracker Crust
Recipes
You can crush the crumbs using a food processor, rolling pin, or kitchen mallet, whichever you prefer. This crust should be baked before filling. If you use pie weights or beans to keep the crust from bubbling during baking (highly recommended), remove the paper and weights for the last few minutes of baking so the crust will brown well.
Sheet Pan Toasts With Spring Vegetables and Mashed Peas
Quick
Recipes
Mashing peas with the back of a spoon just won’t cut it. Think potato masher + elbow grease if you want to bring out their natural creaminess.
Baked Baking Soda Method for Soft Pretzels
Easy
Recipes
An alternative to working with lye is to dip pretzels in a simmering baked baking soda solution, which will give you a result that is close to the dark, burnished crust that lye imparts. If you prefer to avoid working with lye, or just don’t have time to source it, use this method.
Baguette Pain a l’Ancienne
Vegan
Recipes
Peter Reinhart is a well-known cookbook author; his Crust and Crumb, The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, and Whole Grain Breads have been graced with prestigious awards. At Ramekins, where he occasionally teaches bread classes, Peter and I baked bread and pizzas together in the wood-fired oven after his last class. This recipe came from his The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. It is an amazing formula that can be turned into baguettes, ciabatta, focaccia, and pizza. That baking session was about a lot more than the recipe. It was about the primary message of this book: joyfully cooking and sharing with others at the fire.
Sister Pie Crust

If using beans or rice as pie weights, use a lot.
