Baking with Summer Herbs
Gather the harvest from your garden and indulge in these delectable sweet and savory herb-filled treats. Learn more about harvesting summer’s flavors with herbs in our From the Pantry article here.
Pesto-Swirled Babka
Our savory spin on the traditionally sweet twisted bread is fluffy, buttery, cheesy, and packed with bold herb flavor. Serve leftover pesto as a dip for your babka, or spread it on sliced bread to jazz up your sandwiches.
Chocolate-Mint Cream Pie
Mint and chocolate flavors aren’t just for the holidays! We took the same flavors of our favorite chocolate-mint candies and mint chocolate chip ice cream and turned them into this decadent pie, perfect for cooling you down on a hot summer day.
Lemon and Thyme Olive Oil Cake
Pluck a handful of fresh thyme from your garden for this citrusy cake. Both yogurt and oil in the batter give the baked cake a tender crumb that stays moist for several days.
We kept this Rosemary Sea Salt Focaccia simple, adding only fresh rosemary and a sprinkling of sea salt to our Basic Focaccia Dough.
Lime-Mint Crinkle Sandwich Cookies
Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins with Thyme Glaze
Individual Plum Lavender Tarts
For a range of colors and textures, we suggest using a variety of plums in these simple and fast puff pastry squares. (We like Damson, Victoria, or Satsuma.) Dress them up with our sour cream-lavender drizzle. The aromatic lavender adds floral undertones, while the sour cream cuts through the fruit’s sweetness.
Glazed Lemon-Thyme Poppy Seed Cake
With an alluring fragrance of thyme mixed with the fresh taste of lemon and the perfect bit of crunch from the poppy seeds, this Glazed Lemon-Thyme Poppy Seed Cake provides a wonderful sensory experience with each bite.
