🍑🫐 What to Bake in August!

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hey, Reader!

August is the month I bake with whatever's overflowing on the tables at the farmer's market and just... say yes to all of it.

Blueberries, peaches, early pears, tomatoes, garlic, herbs. Sweet, savory, doesn't matter. If it's ripe, it's going in something.

So for our Bake Club, I gathered 10 recipes I'll be making this August, inspired by seasonal produce. Let me know if you try any! 😁

Guten Appetit!

Best Bakes for August

  • 🍑 peach cinnamon rolls - inspired by peach cobbler (is there any dessert that screams summer louder??)
    ​
  • 🌿 rosemary garlic bread - made with a whole head of roasted garlic folded right into the dough.
    ​
  • 🫐 blueberry kuchen - this one's great to snack on throughout the day or pull out at a summer picnic!
    ​
  • 🍐 pear frangipane tart - freshly sliced pears, homemade almond frangipane, and a no-chill crust. you gotta try this one!
    ​
  • 🍑 peach strudel - great for a last-minute summer dessert, this one comes together with just 8 ingredients.
    ​
  • 🫐 blueberry strudel - our backyard blueberry bushes have been going strong since I moved them to a shady spot, so I'm baking this one tomorrow!
    ​
  • 🥒 banana chocolate chip zucchini bread - my dad just made this recipe with blueberries swapped in for chocolate chips & it turned out perfect!
    ​
  • 🧄 soft garlic bread knots - dip these into marinara for an Italian-summer-inspired appetizer.
    ​
  • 🍐 poached pears - the pear tree in our neighborhood is definitely going to see some fruit turned into this delicate treat.
    ​
  • 🍅 garlic sundried tomato butter - adds so much flavor to bread, pasta, chicken, fish, you name it!
