The use of edible flowers in cooking and baking\u2014along with freshly milled flours from heirloom grains like einkorn, buckwheat, and spelt<\/a>\u2014are having a moment.<\/p>\n

Rose Wilde takes advantage of both in Bread and Roses: 100+ Grain Forward Recipes featuring Global Ingredients and Botanicals<\/a><\/em>, a recent Food52 Baking Club pick. (Snacking Bakes<\/em> by Yossy Arefi is our next selection\u2014join us<\/a> to bake through it!)<\/p>\n

\u201cFlowers have long been consumed and it\u2019s time they were brought back onto the plate with more intention and abundance,\u201d Rose writes in the introduction. Most members incorporated flowers into their bakes via botanically derived ingredients such as rose water and orange blossom water. Far fewer shared bakes featuring flowers as decor, but for the author, this is still a victory\u2014using blooms for flavor, not just decoration, is her self-proclaimed mission.<\/p>\n

She also celebrates the grains of the world, and organizes her globally focused book by region and ingredient. The chocolate chip cookie we excerpted from her first chapter, \u201cAsia: Rice, Barley, Buckwheat,\u201d quickly became one of the club\u2019s most-baked recipes from the book<\/a>. But there were other favorites, too\u2014here are a few:<\/p>\n

Alisson Olivia made the Spelt Morning Buns<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m not an experienced baker other than weekly sourdough with my 3-year-old starter,\u201d she said. But even though she said she \u201cwasn\u2019t sure\u201d at some points in the bake, the end result was worth the effort. \u201cThis is the best thing I ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The Buckwheat Cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most ambitious bakes of the month came from Alexis Bowles, who tackled the Buckwheat Cake with Buckwheat Milk Tea Soak, Yuzu Curd, Coconut Custard and Torched Meringue<\/a>, splitting the work over two days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis cake was a journey, a very delicious one with 5 components to it,\u201d she said, heaping praise on the buckwheat milk tea soak. \u201cI toasted my own groats in the oven and the soak was very straightforward with a nutty and sweet flavour reminiscent of soy milk. Could drink it on its own and I will be adding the leftovers to my own bubble tea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The Einkorn Olive Oil Cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joanne Bruno also took on one of the layer cake projects, Einkorn Olive Oil Cake with Rose Hip Custard and Pistachio Buttercream<\/a> and had a lot of notes. For one, \u201cThe rose hip custard was good but the rose flavor was very subtle. I would use more next time.\u201d She had to scale down on the icing, adding that it too didn\u2019t have enough pistachio flavor, and said the layer cake would benefit from being served as standalone olive oil cakes, without any icing at all, to appreciate the flavor.<\/p>\n

\n The Spelt Kachapuri.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Rose Wilde notes, working with ingredients like botanicals and heritage grains can have a bit of a learning curve\u2014and the results can vary based on the freshness of your ingredients.<\/p>\n

The book includes recipes for savory bakes, too. Joanne Bruno made the Spelt Khachapuri<\/a> and called it \u201ctotal cheesy comfort food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monica Cotarlea, who loves to bake with spelt flour, also made the Khachapuri<\/a>, and suggested other savory ingredients would work well as a filling, like mushrooms or ground meat.<\/p>\n

\n The Corn Cookies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with Rose\u2019s section on flavored sugars, which many members loved, her cookies seemed to be the spot that our bakers felt most comfortable with.<\/p>\n

Alisson Olivia baked the Corn Cookies with Candied Mango and Red Peppercorn Sugar<\/a>, noting that while she isn\u2019t a \u201ccookie person,\u201d the cookies from this book really worked for her.<\/p>\n

Above and beyond Rose\u2019s suggestions, many members opted to mill their own grains for flour. The most common choice? Barley, to use in the Barley Miso Chocolate Chunk Cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ground Italian barley with a coffee grinder and it worked perfectly,\u201d said Alicia Fidanza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ophelia Yang Chafigoulline<\/a> also tried her hand at the cookies. \u201cI\u2019ll be honest\u2014I had my doubts. The funkiness of the miso was VERY pronounced when I tried the raw cookie dough. (My teen son said they were \u201cdisgusting.\u201d) But lo and behold, post bake, the umami of the paste made the cookies moist, rich and so earthy. They got rave reviews. Even the skeptical teen decided they were worthy for the middle school bake sale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others simply made substitutions, like Amy Bachrach<\/a>. \u201cI replaced the barley flour with rye flour since that’s what I had,\u201d said Amy.<\/p>\n

Trent Vernon<\/a> used a milling attachment on his mixer, \u201cI didn\u2019t feel like ordering an entire bag of barley flour, so I ended up milling some pearled barley.\u201d For him it was worth the extra effort. \u201c I really did love them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
