      So many Thanksgiving pies benefit from a parbake. So many Thanksgiving pies benefit from a parbake. I follow @emcdowell ‘a method from The Book on Pie, which is surprisingly simple to do 🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧⁣ ⁣ A Few Notes:⁣ ⁣ • The recipe for both the dough and the parbake process is linked in profile.⁣ ⁣ • Afte you fill your pie shell with weights, I do not think it’s necessary to chill it again — I find the crust holds its crimping pattern just as well if it has not been chilled as when it has been chilled. ⁣ ⁣ • Parbake your pies on a parchment-lined sheet pan to prevent your oven from becoming a smoky mess. ⁣ ⁣ • If you have a Baking Steel or pizza stone, use it: it will help create a nice crisp bottom crust. ⁣ ⁣ • The pie featured at the end is a no corn syrup Bourbon Pecan Pie, find it on alexandracooks.com🥧⁣🥧🥧 ⁣ I think that’s it. Happy Thanksgiving, Friends!!! ⁣ ⁣ #thanksgiving #parbake #baking #pie #pecanpie

      If the idea of making bread or rolls for Thanksgiv If the idea of making bread or rolls for Thanksgiving feels like too much, please try these no-knead dinner rolls⁣ 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞 ⁣ They take no time to whip together, and the dough can be stashed in the fridge for 1 to 3 days (honestly, probably even longer) 🤗🤗🤗 ⁣ Just remove the bowl from the fridge about 30 minutes before you want to bake them 👍👍 ⁣ The herbs are optional but there is something really nice about the combination of rosemary, sage, and thyme, especially on the Thanksgiving table. ⁣ Recipe is linked in profile 👋 ⁣ #thanksgiving #bread #rolls #dinner #herbs #noknead #peasant #breadtoastcrumbs
      This one-pot baked ziti is a godsend this time of This one-pot baked ziti is a godsend this time of year — it takes no time to prep and everyone loves it 🍝🍝💯💯🤗🤗⁣ ⁣ The original recipe calls for using cherry tomatoes, but I find it to be just as delicious with canned. I love Colavita’s crushed tomatoes — they’re sold in small boxes (13.7 ounces each … I use two for this recipe). ⁣ ⁣ As always, the recipe is linked in profile ⁣👍👍 ⁣ #weeknight #dinner #fast #easy #simple #pasta #nofuss #baked #ziti #onepot #wonder
      If you are not much of a meal prepper but would li If you are not much of a meal prepper but would like to be, one of the easiest ways to get a jumpstart on meals for the weeks ahead is to make salad dressings in large batches. This tahini one is a favorite 🤗⁣ ⁣ As always, the recipe is linked in bio 🎉 A few notes: ⁣ ⁣ • If you are sensitive to heat, use less than 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.⁣ ⁣ • Adjust to taste with more salt. I end up using more like 2.5 to 3 teaspoons.⁣ ⁣ • Thin with water as needed. The dressing will thicken in the fridge, too, so don’t be afraid to thin with water on subsequent days.⁣ ⁣ #mealprep #salads #dressing #homemade #tahini #salad
