Recipe: Super Bowl Cheese Rolls
Super Bowl Cheese Rolls couldn’t be easier to make, with these mods to my Acme Cheese Wheels. I made my own dough with 80% All Purpose Flour/20% Whole Wheat Flour but you could just as easily use a premade pizza … Continue reading
Recipe: Andersen’s Onion Cheese Bread
I had forgotten about Andersen’s Onion Cheese Bread until I started researching the main attraction at the Andersen’s Pea Soup restaurants in various California locations. This bread is a wonderful mashup of crunchy poppy seeds, chewy onion fragments and mellow … Continue reading

Recipe: Boston Brown Bread with Sourdough
This is a “thirded” Boston brown bread, meaning it is made with equal amounts of whole wheat and rye flours and cornmeal because wheat was too scarce and expensive to use on its own in colonial times. It is cooked … Continue reading
Recipe: Acme Cheese Wheels
These are “Acme” Cheese Wheels in the dictionary sense, as in “ultimate” or “peak”. But they’re also very close to the cheese wheels served by Acme Bakery out of their Ferry Plaza shop in San Francisco. Makes a dozen individual … Continue reading
