Please do let us know, whether by social media DM, email, or in the comments below, if you have any recipe requests for the year ahead. We are so excited for what’s to come in 2023: plenty of new recipes and content!

Today’s Blog Post

Before we get fully invested in planning our content for the new year, it is always helpful to reflect on the year gone by. Today, we want to do that by sharing a line-up of our top 10 recipes from 2022! These are the recipes that performed best on the blog and got the most site visits. They were also (hopefully) the recipes that were baked the most! So, without further ado, here they are from 1 through to 10 – enjoy 🙂

Danish Pastry Dough (Wienerbrødsdej)

This recipe for Danish pastry dough makes the most buttery, flakey, and delicious pastries! Use this to make plain pastries like croissants, or check out some of our other recipes to make filled pastries like spandauer and tebirkes.
