jenny can cook recipes

I found a way to make my crispy focaccia even more crispy. I make it in advance, let it cool, cut it into six wedges, and freeze. When I’m ready, which is almost every day 😋, I place the wedges directly on my toaster oven rack at 325° F for about 10-12 minutes and they come out super crispy. And they stay crispy longer than when served right after baking. If you like all things crispy as much as I do, try it. Here’s the recipe: https://www.jennycancook.com/recipes/easy-crispy-focaccia/

I know I haven’t been around lately but we are still moving! Yes, still moving. I didn’t know we had that much stuff! (most of it’s not mine 🙂)  I’ll try to post some new recipes very soon.

It’s exciting to see pictures of my recipes all over the world so please say where you’re from – include yourself in the photo too! (I post these manually so you won’t see it right away.) Use this link to send your photo: YourPhotos@JennyCanCook.com

BEV (from Canada) MADE MY CINNAMON PUFFS

“Good morning Jenny – Just made your Cinnamon Puffs.  It did make 12 but my husband couldn’t wait for me to take the photo before grabbing a couple of them lol.  A definite make-again, love how light they are.  Thanks for another hit, Jenny.    Bev (from Canada).”

MARGIE (from South Africa) MADE MY CABBAGE ROLLS

“Hi Jenny I’ve recently retired, and am filling my days by trying out new recipes.  I watched the YouTube of you making these Golabki, and decided to try them.  I froze most of them, but the four that we ate for supper were delicious.  I will definitely make them again.  Thanks for a great website! ~ Margie Barker, Somerset West, Cape Town, South Africa.”

CANDY MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS

“Dear Jenny, I’m a 75 year old recently retired hotel/restaurant owner.  I learned about cooking from my Great Aunt.  My Great aunt and Uncle had no kids and their house was my favorite place to go, on weekends, from the time that I was 5 years old.  Twice a month, my Uncle Frank would pick  me up on Saturday morning and drop me home on Sunday afternoon.  My Auntie Moe, was the Christmas cook in the family.  They lived in a house they built around the turn of the century and it had a real root cellar in the basement and a storeroom that was bulging with home made jams and preserves and my Uncle even made his own Rootbeer!  It was heaven for me.  Every time I went over, she would ask what we should make, pies, bread, rolls, cakes, meat loaf, roast chicken, and I’d go over the day before a holiday and I would get to help with the roast turkey and cranberry sauce and dinner rolls and always old fashioned Mac and cheese, made in layers and baked in the oven.  One of my favorite things to ask for, was her fabulous cinnamon rolls!  The pain in the butt old fashioned way!

When I saw your recipe, while I was trying your whole wheat bread, reminded me of hers. I tried your easy recipe, but since I too am a pro. cook,  I had to screw with it, of course.  I added a tsp. of vanilla powder, and substituted melted butter, which I added to the heated milk.  I got a kick out of your instruction to cut off 1/2 inch from both ends of the roll before threading the rolls into eight pieces, (do you square your potatoes when you make French fries too)?  I laughed!  I always just make the end pieces a little bigger and smootch them into the pan, with the odd side down.  Auntie Moe always baked hers in muffin tins with a pat of butter and a spoonful of brown sugar and cinnamon in the bottom of each one.

I’d never  made cinnamon rolls any other way, so I decided to try your 8 to a 8” pan system.  I couldn’t resist, however, putting a small pond of butter with a bunch of brown sugar and cinnamon in the bottom of the pans,  I made a double recipe. This is what happened.  They raised so much that they fought for space in the pan and raised way over the top.  Great recipe, but no frosting for me, 5 minutes out of the oven, I flipped them over, upside down, onto plates.  Gotta have that butter, brown sugar, cinnamon soaked gooey rolls.  I never write in to cooks on the internet, but I loved your sense of humor and helpful hints, so I couldn’t  resist. ~ Candy”

– Candy, I enjoyed reading your story and can see why you have a love of cooking. You are so lucky to have had such a great history of food and family. Thank you for sharing.  ❤️  jenny

MATTHEW MADE MY MULTIGRAIN NO KNEAD BREAD

“Jenny, I SO enjoy your website & videos. Thank you! Tried your multigrain in my Dutch cooker today, with 2 changes: 70 g sourdough starter (so I had to let it go overnight), and I sprinkled the top with wheat bran and oat bran. Nothing more satisfying than homemade bread…. — Matthew Lind.”

MARK (from Texas) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Jenny, I have gone through many stages of bread baking. I’ve tried starters, pooish, and bigas, using exact measurements and elaborate technique. Thank goodness those days are over. I am amazed at this simple No-Knead Bread recipe. Last night I mixed up the recipe only bumping the yeast to scant 1 teaspoon and using cool water for overnight 10 hour rest. This took all of 5 minutes to do. Before daylight I started my hot oven and using my Grandmother’s 100-year-old cast iron Dutch Oven I made this incredible loaf of bread. The sun is up, house smells great, and the bread is done and it is so good! I am very pleased with the taste and texture. Simply amazing! Mark from Deep East Texas.”

MARK (from Texas) MADE MY CABBAGE ROLLS

“I followed the recipe with no problems and got 16 beautiful rolls. The first picture is two rolls right from the oven with pan liquid. My neighbor was here and we ate a few. The next picture is when later that evening I browned some in butter. With the sour cream this was the best thing I’ve tasted all week. Brought back great childhood memories. So good! Your videos are easy to follow and the recipes online are great while cooking. Thanks for all you do! Onward to the Paczki! Mark from Deep East Texas.”

– Thank you so much for these photos. The browned ones are exactly the way I like them! And gotta have sour cream! 😋 – jenny

JANET (from Kentucky) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny, I really love your site. Today I made your No-Knead bread as a special surprise for my daughter who is coming to dinner tonight. Throughout the pandemic, we have tried to get together either on Zoom or with her at my house every Friday night (and we Zoom with her sister, who lives in NYC). I just felt like I wanted to make her something really special today. Anyway, here it is and I’m so pleased. I have made your whole-wheat sandwich rolls in the past and they are wonderful, too. Thanks so much from Louisville, Kentucky! (Here’s a picture of me and my husband from December. He lives in assisted living because he has dementia, which is why it’s extra special that my daughter spends time with me.)”

BRIAN (from the U.K.) MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS

“Just tried Jenny’s recipe for Cinnamon Rolls, the best I’ve ever tasted. I used to buy them from Mavericks, in Ririe, Idaho, U.S.A, when visiting my wife’s pen pal of 61 years to date. Many thanks Jenny, now I don’t need to grab your buns, although I wouldn’t mind, ha, ha. ~ Brian, Oxford, U.K.”

– This is so exciting! My cinnamon rolls in the UK! And they look amazing – thank you so much! – jenny

I chose this photo from Ellen in Oregon because as soon as I saw it, I turned on my oven to make my own Dutch Baby Pancake. Her way was exactly the way I serve mine, with a dusting of powdered sugar and lots of fresh fruit. Ellen made it for her husband’s birthday!

DAWN (from Washington) MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS

“Hi Jenny, I used an instant yeast packet and was concerned when the roll slices didn’t expand to fill up my 8-inch pan, I still had spaces between the rolls. I consulted your dough FAQ and didn’t see any other mistakes I could have made. So I followed your advice to continue on to finish baking and see how it turned out. As you see, the dough expanded when it started baking and this turned out great. And the dental floss makes it so easy. These were as good as they look! Thanks for helping me celebrate the new year! ~ Dawn Miller McKimpson, Vancouver, WA.”

– They do look good. Thank you for your photo and I’m glad you stuck with it. – jenny

LYNETTE (from Oregon) MADE MY NO KNEAD RYE BREAD

“Jenny-  This is the best, easiest, and most versatile bread recipe I’ve come across.  (And I’ve been baking A LOT during quarantine!)  For this easy sandwich rye I added 1/2 cup plain yogurt to the 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup rye flour to the remaining 2 1/2 cups bread flour.  I also added 1T of caraway seeds. It’s soft with a tender crumb, and tastes wonderful! ~ Lynette Anderson, Portland Oregon.”

– I’m going to try it your way next time. Your bread looks amazing! Thank you. – jenny

LYNETTE (from Oregon) MADE MY 2-HOUR NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny- Today I substituted 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1 cup warm water, and about 2 T. of Trader Joe’s Sofrito spice.  The bread came out soft and tangy with a nice crumb, and mouthfuls of herbs in every bite.  The second rise was almost an hour, and as you can see it was ready to explode! Lynette Anderson, Portland OR.”

– What a great way to kick off 2021! Thank you for the great photos and Happy New Year! – jenny

My favorite desserts are something a little sweet, and that is why I created this simple loaf cake.  It’s easy to put together (I like that) with barely any cleanup (LOVE that), and it’s not too sweet so I don’t feel guilty if I have a little piece after breakfast. I still prefer baking without butter and I always prefer easy recipes so this one is perfect. It’s a moist tender cake and so delicious I never seem to have any leftovers.

If you don’t have a mixer, you can make this recipe by hand. Just sift all the dry ingredients, including sugar, into a bowl, make a well, stir in the liquids, and proceed. It won’t be quite as tall but still very delicious – a bit more like a pound cake. As for the chocolate chips, I use dark chocolate chips but I also like to use part chocolate chips and part chunks of a dark chocolate bar, somewhere in the 63 to 70% cocoa range. I just chop it up into small chunks.

And I’ll say it again: toast  your nuts before baking with them and you will see a big difference in the flavor, especially with pecans, my favorite baking nuts. If you like sweets that are not too sweet, easy to make, and even easier to eat, you will love this easy loaf cake. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

MONITA MADE MY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

“Hi Jenny. My first sprouted wheat bread from your recipe. Thank you so much for your recipe!”

~ I just bought some sprouted wheat flour to try. Yours looks good. ~ jenny

DALILA MADE MY BEEF STEW & EASY WHITE BREAD (no egg)

“Hi Jenny! ? This weekend was a bit of a chilly one here, the winds were a bit crazy. So I decided to make your BEEF STEW recipe, a warm and stick to your bones kind of dinner. I have to tell you that it was a….’melt-in-your-mouth’….. meal!! ? I had no celery left, bummer, so I added celery flakes, next time celery stalks for sure. I also paired it with your EASY WHITE BREAD (NO EGG), talk about a scrumptious dinner! Your bread recipes are easy and they never fail me, thank you! I can see myself making this recipe over and over, it’s a keeper for sure. Next time I’m adding peas for a little change up. Thank you for another tasty recipe Jenny! Happy Cooking!! ?”

~ The stew and the bread look fantastic. I love to dunk bread into my stew. ~ jenny

BUNNY MADE MY PEPPRONI PIZZA

“Hi Jenny, I’m sitting here munching on a piece of warm and wonderful pizza, compliments of your Pepperoni Pizza recipe. I made dough following the recipe to a T and let the dough rest for an hour — then decided to mouse around the refrigerator for other toppings:  Italian Sausage, orange bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives, red onion, mozz,  a sprinkle of oregano, and of course, pepperoni.  Despite the extra toppings, pizza slices did not sag one bit.  It wasn’t because the pizza dough was thick (it is actually a cross between thin and medium crust), but because of the wonderful browning on the bottom.  Great recipe.

The only thing I would do different next time is not sprinkle some cheese on the top before I bake it.  My oven is very hot, so the cheese browned a bit. Next time, I will wait until a few mins. before the pizza is done before adding a little flourish of cheese on top.  By the way I baked my pizza for 12 mins, but I could have taken it out a minute or two earlier.   Thank you so much for teaching me and others how to make great pizzeria style pizza at home. – Bunny (in Chicago)”

~ Your pizza looks so good, and thanks for showing the salad. We need our salads every day! ~ jenny

EVELYN MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny. I followed the Faster No knead bread recipe except I used cold water and mixed the dough the night before. As you can see, the bread looks amazing! The  pan pizza  was also out of this world!! Thank you for sharing your recipes!  ??”

~ It looks picture perfect. Thank you for taking time to send this great photo. ~ jenny

EFRAT MADE MY ONE BOWL LEMON BROWNIES

“Hi ?We love this cake, it’s so delicate and tasty. Thank you for all your great recipes! ~ Efrat from Israel. ?”

~ Israel! It’s wonderful to know I’m appreciated so far away. Thank you so much for the photos. ~ jenny

DALILA MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS AND POTATO SALAD

“Hi Jenny! I was in the mood for some “summer-time” food. This cold is starting to get to me. Spring time can’t get here fast enough for me.  So I decided to make your NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS and POTATO SALAD. Your rolls came out soooo wonderful!! I topped mine with some poppy seeds, caraway seeds and sesame seeds. My kitchen had such a wonderful aroma, nothing beats making homemade breads. I made mini bison burgers for our dinner with the rolls, yummy indeed! Your POTATO SALAD made a tasty side, it was easy and quick. The changes I made to the potato salad was yellow mustard instead of Dijon, I ran out of that. And I  added some diced sweet pickles to it. Thank you Jenny for your wonderful recipes! Have a wonderful day!”

~ Your rolls look fabulous – I love the seeds, and bison makes wonderful and healthy burgers. Thank you for sharing. ~ jenny

ASHLEY MADE MY PEPPERONI PIZZA

“Instead of pepperonis, I added chicken thighs and green bell peppers and they turned out absolutely amazing! I do wish the crust was more golden browned and crispier but my family still loved it ? My mom loved it and it only took 1 hour to make this entire this!! ? Thank you so much Jenny! You’re the best! ?”

~ I think the moisture from that much thighs & peppers kept the crust from browning. Next time try lean chicken breast and squeeze some moisture out of the peppers first in paper towels. But I must say it does look good. Thank you for sharing. ~ jenny

BUNNY MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS & CHOCOLATE PUDDING

“Hi Jenny, I’m calling this my Jenny Jones lunch, since it uses your recipes.  I formed No Knead Crusty Rolls into Italian hoagie rolls (I love sandwiches on freshly baked bread), and baked them for 27 mins.  Next, stuffed them to make  Italian style sandwiches.  For dessert, I made your Chocolate Pudding   Delicious.  I put in a square of the 70% chocolate bar at your suggestion.  Such a nice, rich, chocolate flavor.  For a bit of flair, I added non-fat whipped cream and a few raspberries.  Thank you so much for all the recipes and inspiration. ~ Bunny (in Chicago).”

~ It’s great to see some of my recipes “in action.” Thank you. ~ jenny

OLIVIA MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

“Hi Jenny. Our daughter Olivia in the kitchen again – inspired by your video. I think the ratio of fruit to crust is just about right. Peel left on for extra flavour (and fibre). It was seriously delicious with a spoonful of yogurt! All the best, Paul.”

~ What a beautiful job, Olivia! Thank you for the photo. ~ jenny

ANA MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

“Hi Jenny. Simple and delicious! Regards from Lisbon / Portugal.”

~ Thank you for the photos and especially for showing the cut loaf. Looks wonderful! ~ jenny

BUNNY MADE MY CHOCOLATE LOAF CAKE & NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS

“Hi Jenny, I just wanted to let you know how much I loved your Chocolate Loaf Cake.  While the cake baked, I went outside to shovel snow and fill bird feeders in single digit weather.  When I walked in from outside, I was unprepared for the aroma of chocolate to smack me in the face the moment I opened the door.  Wow, whole house to smelled like Chocolate!

~ Thank you for the great photos and for the extra tips too. ~ jennyOMG (Outstanding, Marvelous, Glorious) Crusty No Knead Rolls!  These are the best crusty rolls I have ever made, including KAF’s “Crusty European Hard Rolls” (Sorry, King Arthur Flour, yours came out dense even with extra time to rise).

For those who are crunch-a-holics or love hard rolls, when the rolls are done baking, turn off the oven and leave the rolls in the oven (with the door opened a few inches), for 5 mins. before removing for extra crunch.  I did not do this with my rolls, but just thought I would mention it as an option. Thank you, Jenny, for this amazing recipe.  Who knew you could make fabulous, gourmet rolls without fancy ingredients, special tools, or a lot of hard work!!!

BEATA MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS

“Oh, Jenny! (Ok, I mean Ms. Jones because we never met, and even though I’ve been away from the manners of life in Warsaw for thirty years, it just doesn’t feel right to call a stranger by their first name (to their face ;)).

But..Oh, Jenny! I’ve been trying to find “kaizerki” for most of my Canadian life, and even though we have some lovely Polish stores and bakeries in the area, I can’t find the ones I remember: little, crusty on the outside, soft on the inside and chewy all over. But I happened upon your No Knead buns recipe last night, and immediately went to the kitchen to mix the flour (just unbleached all-purpose), yeast, salt and water. This morning my Darling Geoff and I tasted heaven!!!! They turned out beautifully, even though I only gave the dough eight hours to rise and was a little worried.

~ I’m so happy to hear this. By the way, they freeze beautifully – I always have a few in my freezer. ~ jenny (a fellow Polish Canadian)

PARAMES MADE MY DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES

“Hi Jenny, Hope this email finds you well. Love all your recipes. This is my first try of it. The first time I did this I baked for 25 minutes cause i thought it was not baked. It became too hard. I laugh to myself remembering how you say “20 minute – Don’t make me come to your house” So the 2nd attempt I did it excatly 20 minutes and it was awesome. Here is a picture. Thanks for sharing the recipes. Your videos are simple to follow and you are very funny. Kind regards and take care. ~ Parames.”

~ I’m glad they finally turned out. Thank you for the cute photo. ~ jenny

ZARINA MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS

PIA MARIA MADE MY FLATBREAD

“Hi Jenny, Yesterday, making lunch for my family of four, I realised I´d forgot to buy bulghur for the tabbouleh I planned to accompany my carrot/halloumi patties. Panicking I went online to search for quick and easy flatbreads to make instead and luckily I found your recipe! It was my first time making flatbread and I was so surprised it was THAT easy!! Thank you for saving our lunch, my kids LOOOOVED the bread (in fact, they loved it so much they hardly tasted my patties….) ? I will NEVER buy tortilla, naan, or pita anymore, thanks to you! Best regards, Pia Maria, Malmo, Sweden.”
