Recipes for Life’s Second Greatest Pleasure 🧀

All things cheesy (in the best of ways). [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration with Kye Batch 431 [Gruyère-Stuffed Crusty Loaves]( My sweet tooth needs a break. I can't believe I wrote those words. But if I'm being honest, I've had my fill of sweets these last few weeks. (Maybe the 300 chocolate truffles I made for Valentine's Day had something to do with it?) My sweet tooth won't ever fully go into hibernation — that's unthinkable — but for the moment, I'm leaning savory. Which means I'm making way for what's debatably life's second greatest pleasure (after chocolate, of course): cheese. Cheese takes savory baking to a whole new level. It's deeply flavorful and can add a world of textures. It can be soft, gooey, and melty, as in these lava-esque [Gruyère-Stuffed Crusty Loaves](. Or it can be crispy and caramelized like the almost-charred edges of our [Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza]( (affectionately known as "frico"). Or, sometimes, the cheese takes on the texture of the bread itself. That's the case in our [Cheddar Cheese Pull-Apart Bread](: Its flaky layers of tender dough beg to be pulled apart with each layer, and though you won't find cheese oozing from between the layers, you'll taste it in every bite. The secret? [Better Cheddar Cheese Powder]( — a pantry hero when it comes to both baking and cooking. It's the backbone of savory breads like this pull-apart version, and it's also fantastic added to homemade mac 'n' cheese and sprinkled on top of popcorn. Of course, there's a place for cheese in your baking beyond bread. Savory pastries? Yes please! Our [Everything-Cheddar Pastry Twists]( use rough puff pastry and a simple shaping technique to make an impressive appetizer or anytime snack. The pairing of cheese and [Everything Bagel Topping]( makes these utterly impossible to stop eating — be forewarned (and consider making a double batch). Amidst all this thinking about cheese, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of my absolute favorites: ricotta. The creamy, almost fluffy texture is a dream and I've been known to eat it by the spoonful with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of coarse salt on top. Ricotta most certainly belongs in your baking, be it in bread, on pizza, or even baked into [Ricotta Pie](. Alas, my sweet tooth is showing! That didn't take long. Regardless of the way you include cheese in your baking, here's your challenge: this week, bake something sweet or savory — your choice — using cheese. You won't be sorry!
