I got your weekend baking project covered with these new galettes! 👋🏻 Find both of these recipes (two recipes in one day—who am I??) on the blog now, friends. Links in that bio! Very similar write-ups for each, both boasting a flaky crust and juicy fruit filling! Strawberry, blueberry—the choice is yours. 🍓🫐 More photos and some assembly reels to come too! Happy baking! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #galette #galettes #strawberrypie #strawberries #fruitpie #fruitlover #strawberryseason #blueberries #blueberrypie #pastries #pastrylife #pastrylover #f52community #thebakefeed #bakefromscratch #bakinglover #foodphotographyandstyling #foodphotoshoot #foodphotography #foodstylish #flaky #piecrust #dessertlovers #pastryelite #homebakers #cincy #cincinnatiphotographer #cincinnati

Cater your egg wash to what kind of finish you’re looking for on those pastries or pie! 👋🏻 They all serve their purpose in regards to color, shine, and sealing properties. Get the most golden shine by using just the yolk or my personal favorite, the whole egg by itself—I find it’s the perfect blend between color and shine. ✨ Add a splash or two of water to dial back the color, but still get a decent shine. An egg white has its place too! It’ll give you more of a matte finish. It’s also great for sealing dough & avoiding soggy bottoms: brush it all over your crust after blind baking—the egg white wash creates a water-tight barrier for your crust to then continue baking with your filling. 🥧 Play around with each wash and find which you like best. Also note that the egg yolk/whole egg washes will brown faster—so keep an eye on those! Hope you learned something new here, friends. Happy baking! ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #pie #piecrust #dough #pastrydesign #pastryinspiration #pastries #pastrylove #bakingtime #bakingclass #bakingtips #bakefromscratch #thebakefeed #f52grams #thekitchn #f52community #homebake #foodphotoshoot #foodstylingandphotography #foodphotographer #flakypastry #pastrychef #eggwash #flaky #eggyolk #eggwhites #cincy #cincyeats

Hi friends 👋🏻, I wrote an article over on @yesapples’ site that hits very close to home, especially during #pridemonth. It’s all about my queerness and baking—why the two will always be intrinsically linked (and have to be) and why visibility/representation matters. I hope it resonates with you in some way, regardless if you’re a part of the LGBTQ+ community or not—would love to hear your thoughts or response! ❤️ Swipe for a few snippets and read the full article at the link in my bio! Xoxo, Josh 🌈 (If you’re new here and struggling with your own identity or feel you don’t have someone you can talk to—DM me and I’ll point you in the direction of resources. You’re not alone!) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #gaybaker #bakingblog #foodbloggers #pride #pride2022 #loveislove #pride🌈 #queerpride #lgbtqpride #bakers #baking #selftaughtbaker #homebakers #queerlove #cincy #cincinnati #cincinnatiohio #ohioblogger #cincinnatipride #gayblogger #f52community #bakefromscratch

Some random & recent non-baking, life stuff 👋🏻 : we’ve been taking walks with Taran in our old neighborhood, grabbing some @deweyspizza along the way > @amyhildebrandz joined us on one of these walks ❤️ > got Taran a new doggie water bottle I’m obsessed with 🥹 Decided to finally get my garden act together, loving this little corner patch now > another walk with @woodsomc and him giving me the bird 🥰 > Taran got the hiccups, lol. Also yes, buzzed off all my hair! This summer heat tho. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cincy #cincinnati #cincinnatiohio #ohioblogger #bakingblog #foodblogging #ohio #weekendstyle #cincinnatiphotographer #foodphotographers #bakerslife #homebakers #chihuahuas #dogvideos #chihuahualovers #gayblogger #pridemonth #gaybaker #cincyusa

Hey hey, got a new recipe for you today! 👋🏻 #ad | This simple glaze is perfect to spoon over pastries (like these cute lil’ pop tarts I made), pipe onto cookies, drizzle over a loaf—you name it. The best part? It’s sugar-free thanks to @purecane’s zero calorie confectioners sweetener and comes together in just 5 minutes! Link in bio, friends. ❤️ @purecane’s entire product line is zero calorie and contains no added sugar, naturally derived from sugarcane! All the same sweetness, but without the sugar, keeping those blood sugar levels in check and most importantly—no weird aftertaste. 🙌🏻 They even have substitutes for brown and granulated sugar, which you can swap 1:1 into your recipes! This is an amazing alternative for those with diabetes or other sugar-related health issues that still want to bake up something sweet! Learn more about them and grab some at the links in the blog (or my stories today).
