I need to say something.

I’m really good at making bread. Like, really super duper good. It’s mostly just because I pile delicious things into a loaf and let it bake. It’s not rocket science, but I still get bragging rights… because this is my blog.

Making a quick bread for someone is dang important. A good loaf can’t just be faked. Flour must be measured.  Eggs must be beaten. The loaf must be cooked through to the absolute perfect temperature, perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly gooey at its core.

It’s a science… but it’s not a science at all.  It’s just bread, but it’s important.

Nowadays, I use science to make bread. This one in particular is ridiculous and wonderful and I’m glad you’re here to see the results. You wouldn’t think of pairing mascarpone and pistachios together. But somehow, it works. It always works. Because it’s science. And I’m dang good at science. And making bread. That’s been established.

Let’s get to it, now.
