  • I will be listening to every episode!

    I listened to my first episode and it was about the 2026 recipe of the year -flaky puff pizza crust and all I could think was how soon can I get home to make this! I have been using KA flour for years and am an avid home baker and this episode was fully engaging and perfect for all bakers everywhere! I can’t wait to listen to past episodes and look forward to future ones!

  • Give it a listen!

    I really enjoy this podcast. Excellent work and knowledge from both hosts. I don’t know why the interviews are cut so disappointingly short. And the episodes are so exhaustingly edited that it’s kind of frustrating to have to hear constant cuts. But the show itself is worth a subscribe!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reinventing Pizza for 2026
Q: What is the best cheese for pizza?
The best cheese is a combination of low moisture whole milk mozzarella for meltability and fresh cheese for flavor, ideally applied in layers for optimal taste.
Reinventing Pizza for 2026
Q: Do the two different steps make a big difference? Should you wait for your yeast to get foamy for five minutes before adding your flour, or is mixing it all together the same result?
Yeast no longer needs to be proofed before you incorporate it into the dough, as modern yeast production ensures it's alive enough to work without the proofing step.
Our Holiday Baking Q&A Spectacular!
Q: What is the best way to have success with a cookie press?
Dough consistency and temperature is important; it is a sweet spot between too hot and too cold.
Our Holiday Baking Q&A Spectacular!
Q: How early in advance can we make cookies, cakes and other holiday treats?
You can prepare holiday treats as early as November, even if some recipes can be made in July.
Our Holiday Baking Q&A Spectacular!
Q: I'm wondering how you keep cookies fresh if you're trying to mail them?
It really depends on the cookie, but gingerbread biscotti were recommended because they're sturdy and easy to pack.
