One loaf. Three flours. A very good reason to buy mushrooms 🍄‍🟫

This stromboli combines Birkett Mills Buckwheat Flour with spelt and bread flour: buckwheat brings its deep, toasted flavor; the wheat flours give the dough the stretch it needs. Inside are wild mushrooms, spinach, roasted red peppers, fresh herbs, and fontina.

It is earthy without becoming heavy, cheesy without losing the mushrooms, and built for the first evening that feels remotely like fall.

Comment STROMBOLI and we’ll send you the complete recipe from King Arthur Baking Company.

Homemade bagels with no yeast, no boiling, and no complicated dough-making? We’re listening 🥯

These air fryer cottage cheese bagels use Birkett Mills whole wheat flour and come together in one bowl. They’re soft and chewy inside, lightly crisp outside, and easy to make ahead for breakfast throughout the week.

AIR FRYER COTTAGE CHEESE BAGELS (Makes 4)

Ingredients:
🔹 1 cup Birkett Mills whole wheat flour
🔹 2 teaspoons baking powder
🔹 1 cup cottage cheese
🔹 Egg wash, for brushing
🔹 Everything But the Bagel seasoning

Instructions:
1️⃣ Combine the flour, baking powder & cottage cheese in a bowl and mix until a dough forms.
2️⃣ Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, create a hole in the center, and shape it into a bagel.
3️⃣ Place the bagels on parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash and generously sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
4️⃣ Air fry at 350°F for 10 minutes. Increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for another 5–8 minutes, or until golden. Let the bagels cool for about 15 minutes before slicing.
5️⃣ Top yours with cream cheese, avocado, eggs, turkey, smoked salmon, butter, or whatever breakfast situation is currently calling your name.

One little batch = four very easy breakfasts.

Pizza has been reinventing itself since 1734, and apparently nobody knew when to leave well enough alone 🍕

It started in Naples with Marinara and Margherita. Then New York made it foldable, Chicago made it a commitment, Detroit found the square pan, Canada added pineapple, and the ’90s hid cheese inside the crust.

By 2010, we were drizzling hot honey on top and wondering why we hadn’t thought of it sooner. Through all of it, the dough kept doing the dependable work while the toppings got ideas.

Now be honest: which pizza are you ordering, and which one are you quietly judging? 👀

Pumpkin season has officially found the buckwheat flour 🎃

These gluten-free pumpkin muffins from Catherine look soft, cozy, and exactly like what should be sitting beside a hot cup of coffee this time of year.

Penn Yan has never been especially good at doing breakfast quietly 🥞

On this day in 1987, the annual Buckwheat Harvest Festival drew a crowd for one very large reason: a buckwheat pancake measuring 28 feet, 1 inch.

There was batter. There were hard hats. There were steel beams and a crane, because a spatula was clearly not going to do it.

The pancake earned a Guinness World Record. That record was later broken, but the original griddle stayed right here in Penn Yan, where we can keep an eye on it.

And the Birkett’s pancake mix used that day? It is still the mix on our shelves today. Some things are worth keeping around 🌾

Thirty-nine years later, we still love telling this story.

Now we want the part the record book missed. Were you there? Did someone in your family bring you? Tell us everything you remember.

Cream of buckwheat, caramelized bananas, blueberry compote, yogurt, peanut butter, and toasted pecans. A warm, filling breakfast that comes together in about 10 minutes — and it's naturally gluten free.

Well. Now we know what we’re making for breakfast 🥞

Brynlee turned our Buckwheat Pancake Mix into this cozy stack with bananas, blueberries, and a generous drizzle of syrup. The sort of breakfast that has everyone wandering into the kitchen asking, “Are there any left?”

Thank you, Bryn, for making our pancakes look this good 🤎

What are you putting on your stack: berries, bananas, or both?
