How to Make Granola
My daily breakfast of yogurt and granola is (almost) as important to me as my morning coffee. Baking up a batch every couple of weeks is another nice ritual. It's really easy, and unlike the store-bought alternative, you can create exactly the balance of fruit, nuts, grains, sweetness, and richness you want. This slideshow will show you the basics of granola-making, with some ideas for a classic version, as well as a more decadent closer-to-candy recipe (with chocolate chips!) and a savory twist with fennel seeds.Breakfast Flatbread Showdown: Subway vs. Dunkin'
In the age of corporate strategy, there's no way a competitor will let you dominate a market unchallenged for very long. A while back, Dunkin' began offering egg white flatbread sandwiches, a lower-calorie alternative to its heavier breakfast fare—and to bolster their breakfast offerings, Subway now makes flatbread versions of their own breakfast sandwiches. I set out to see how they would compare.Portland, Oregon: Breakfast at Tin Shed
Tin Shed in Portland, Oregon, is a feel-good place. Big plates, sustainable ingredients, cleverly-named dishes, potted plants, and lounging dogs waiting for fallen sausage bits. People smile here, and you forget you ever had to wait for a table. And be prepared on the weekends: it could be a very long wait.Poll: Hash Browns or Home Fries?
Ah, the eternal breakfast potato choice. One that's been on my mind since yesterday morning, when I had to make it at my local diner. Hash browns or home fries? (And why are they called "home fries," anyway?)Austin Taco All-Stars: Tacos La Flor
With an almost unquantifiable number of taco trucks and Mexican restaurants in this town, I hesitate to name any of them the "best in Austin," but the little blue trailer that is Tacos La Flor comes as any to winning that designation.Poll: Do You Like Crisp or Chewy Bacon?
Bacon. It's delicious at breakfast with a few eggs, fantastic for lunch in a BLT, and divine at dinner incorporated into almost any dish. There are bacon brownies, chocolate-coated strips of bacon, and even bacon ice cream. There aren't many who'd turn away these strips of cured pork and fat based on deliciousness or scorn the fantastic smell that rises from the sizzling, cooking meat. But how long do you leave it in the pan? Do you prefer your bacon cooked to a crisp or do you like more time to chew? »Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Bagels?
What makes the bagel so special? What makes you want to schmear it with cream cheese and smoked salmon instead of slices of whole wheat bread instead? The bagel comes in all shapes and sizes, with sesame sprinkles, garlic, everything bagels; health conscious consumers can now eat flat bagels and whole-wheat bagels and bagel chips instead. But how much do you really know about the bagel? Take the quiz! »A 'Typical' Breakfast in ... South Africa
Centuries of European rule have left their mark on the "typical" South African breakfast. It's a tea-and-coffee culture, so breakfast is often a cup of something hot (with lots of sugar added) served alongside something bready. That can be a piece of toast with jam or cheese, a rusk (a thick and tooth-breakingly hard cookie), buttered bread, or even a hot dog bun.The Food Lab: Baking Powder vs. Baking Soda
Baking powder and baking soda. Both of them are used so frequently in quick baking projects that unless you are a recipe developer, rarely do you consider what each of them actually does for your finished product. How come my scones call for baking powder, but my buttermilk biscuits call for a mixture of powder and soda? Is there an easy way to substitute one for the other if I don't have both on hand? And why do I have to bake my muffins right after mixing the batter? This edition of the Food Lab is a quick and dirty guide to how they work, and how they affect the outcome of your recipe.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
