Rainy days make me want to bake. And specifically to bake Star bread. We finally had a truly rainy day today, which was such a relief. I only wish it would last. But at least we got some Star bread out of it. Cinnamon Star bread and pesto Star bread from @kingarthurbaking. Delicious as usual. #starbread #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #baking #kingarthurbaking #homemade #homebaking #cinnamon #pesto #bread #delicious #tasty #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CirFkgor3fg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Star bread extravaganza. I made some pumpkin butter last week and I’d been thinking it might be good in star bread. But I always have to make the usual cinnamon and pesto. So triple the bread! It was all delicious. #kingarthurbaking #starbread #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #pumpkinstarbread #dinner #baking #homemade #delicious #tasty #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVRl8gQLIYv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Belated birthday posting from husband’s birthday week last week. Day of he wanted warm cinnamon bread or gingerbread cake. I managed to do both despite a busy day with the boy’s tennis class until 6pm. The star bread just got an extra long last rise. Since it was warm, we stuck a candle in it instead of the cake. (The pesto bread got taste-tested by me before I remembered a photo.) For a celebration with his parents, I made an almond cake with lemon frosting, filled with Ottolenghi’s raspberry and cherry jam. It was delicious. The boy did a Daily Cat in decorating icing on top. #kingarthurbaking #gingerbreadcake #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #starbread #davidlebovitz #almondcake #ottolenghi #jam #lemon #dailycat #cakecat #theboy (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNL-68OBlbl/?igshid=1bw3tzt40kuz

I know I post these every time I make them but I don’t care. They’re beautiful and delicious. I think the pesto one is the most beautiful one I’ve made. #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #kingarthurbaking #baking #homemade #delicious #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_9xTGBhz-/?igshid=axcovogtivdq

The boy told me last night that he wanted to make cinnamon star bread with me today. He’d never made it before. He calculated amounts (since we were doubling the recipe to make one sweet and one savory), measured out all the ingredients, and made the dough. I showed him how to roll out the layers and he did them. He sprinkled on the cinnamon sugar. I showed him the trick to twisting the points. He did a great job! He let me do the pesto bread by myself, which I ended up dropping on the floor. I managed to save half of it that had been caught in the parchment paper, so it became a 5 pointed star. #homeschooling #baking #bakingwithkids #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #kingarthurbaking #homemade #delicious #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5afXMBTuZ/?igshid=1bed1ae3nrro9

I’m a little surprised it took me this long into captivity to make star bread. Delicious as ever. The pesto one turned out especially well this time. The bread itself was a little extra melt-in-your-mouth crispy on the outside and I added sun dried tomatoes, which gave it an extra punch of flavor. I forgot to get a photo of the cinnamon bread out of the oven before the boy tore into it. #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #kingarthurflour #delicious #homemade #baking #quarantinebaking #yum https://www.instagram.com/p/B-i6bPmBA-J/?igshid=74wzd833ub91

Star bread madness. I’ve made both these breads before but today I really went for it. Two loaves of cinnamon and one of pesto. I discovered that you can easily double the recipe and it comes out successfully. So I de a double batch for the two cinnamons then a second single batch for the pesto. I used TJs jarred pesto and shredded Parmesan in the savory bread. It was crazy delicious. And everyone devoured the cinnamon, which is the best flavor or a cinnamon roll in a light, soft bread. All awesome. I love rainy day stay-at-home baking. #kingarthurflour #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #delicious #homemade #bread #yum https://www.instagram.com/p/B28bTwYBUZB/?igshid=1xjrgs5b7b0m5

Cinnamon Star Bread and Pesto Star Bread. I was making these in a strange house and the dough came out really sticky and hard to work with, thus the uneven points. But they tasted good! It was my first time making the savory one, which was delicious! Made with pesto from Parkside Market, which was fabulous. #kingarthurflour #starbread #cinnamonstarbread #pestostarbread #baking #homemade #bread #parksidemarket https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6rZlhhnfs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=idfvwxmczjzv
