This is the easiest and fastest way I found to line my loaf pan with parchment paper. I use the pre-cut Reynolds cookie baking sheets. I cut one in half and cut one of the two halves into two. I clip the two smaller pieces onto each long end and then place the larger piece across the width and clip to keep in place. After I pour in the batter, I remove the clips and bake but you can leave the clips in.
With summer approaching, I’m using my toaster oven more for baking. This time I tried my no knead crusty rolls and WOW – they turned out beautifully! I set the toaster oven to 450, just like my big oven, and just used a smaller baking pan (9 by 13 inches). These rolls don’t spread much so I was able to bake all eight at one time. I plan to make them this way all the time.
As soon as they cool, I freeze these rolls. I find that putting the frozen rolls directly onto my toaster oven rack at 325 for about 10 minutes makes them super crusty, even more than when they’re first baked. It’s a win-win: Less oven use, and even crustier rolls. I love these rolls with salad, with soup, and sometimes I eat a roll,,, with another roll. 😋 Click here for the recipe.

LISA (from Manitoba) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD & CRUSTY ROLLS
“Hello Jenny….I made your no knead bread and crusty buns today….I’m sooooo thrilled I’m telling everyone I know!! I’m so fussy about ingredients and bakery bread is a whopping 6-10 dollars here in La Broquerie Manitoba…so I did some searching, bought some fresh ingredients and boom!! I’ve got bread and buns! You have lots of things I’m going to
try… Lisa.”
– I can see why you’re so happy with your breads – they look wonderful! Thank you for your photo and greetings from a fellow Canuck. 🇨🇦 – jenny
JANE (from Missouri) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CAKE & COCONUT CAKE
“Jenny, I can’t thank you enough for teaching me to cook. Love your recipes and videos! If we knew each other, I’d want you for a best friend! I used your chocolate cake and coconut cake recipes to make these birthday cakes for our grandchildren. Am using your recipes every year for their favorite “I’m this old” cake. I skip the numbers for my personal birthday cake. LOL Thanks again for bringing a lot of happiness to so many!💕🎂🎈~ Jane Stein —Kansas City, Missouri.”
– I love it! What amazing memories you are creating for your grandchildren. When you hear about someone cooking with love, this is what it looks like. Your cakes and their fun decorations are beautiful. Thank you so much for this gorgeous photo and for letting me know that my recipes are making someone happy. That makes me happy too! 😍 – jenny
CHRIS MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

The world needs more people like Rhonda! She made my recipe for white bread into dinner rolls, but look how she shared these rolls and how much good she did in her community…
Rhonda wrote, “I prepared four batches for a total yield of 36 rolls. We made them to share with residents in the 55 and older mobile home park we live in for our first “2nd Friday Soup Social” held this February. My son suggested we do this dinner event a few months ago as a way of sharing and getting to know our neighbors. He moved here a year ago and has since realized many of the residents are well over 55 years old and don’t socialize much. We posted our invite in the monthly newsletter that is distributed to all 155 homes in our park. Everyone was invited with us knowing the usual turnout for activities is less than 12 people. We provided two homemade soups to choose from – Minestrone and Chicken Noodle – with a homemade roll.
We made enough soup for 24 thinking some might take some home to their neighbor. We provided cardboard soup containers with lids so they could transport their soup easily if they chose to take their soup home to eat or to share. Eighteen people showed up! All 18 stayed to eat their soup and socialize! Several had seconds and a few took soup to their neighbors. We also took soup to a couple of neighbors we knew were convalescing. We had a great time preparing the soups and rolls. We enjoyed socializing with neighbors we knew and met some new people, too.
We plan to repeat this event in March and April, at least. Given the thanks and the compliments we received, we anticipate needing more soup and rolls. Thank you for a delicious and simple recipe for the best rolls. After trying several recipes, your’s delivered the easiest, tastiest and most versatile rolls for our crowd.”
Rhonda is a gift to her community. I’m so proud that my recipe was a part of this generous and welcoming event. Isolation is common with seniors and can lead to numerous health problems. Bringing their neighbors together is such a wonderful thing she and your son are doing. Homemade food is a gift from the heart and by simply bringing people together, she might also be saving lives. I hope others might be inspired to share food and kindness with those who need it.
I love seeing your photos of my recipes. Please say where you’re from and you can include yourself in the photo too! (I post these manually so you won’t see it right away.) Use this NEW link to send your photo: MyJennyRecipe@gmail.com

RHONDA MADE MY SIMPLE WHITE BREAD INTO ROLLS
“Good evening! These rolls were made using your Simple White Bread recipe. I prepared four batches using the same recipe with buttermilk instead of milk in two, nonfat dry milk in the other two; three with one egg and one batch without (Oops!) for a total yield of 36 rolls. I buttered the tops while still warm from the oven.

MARLENE (Domestic Diva) MADE MY 2-HOUR NO KNEAD “BREAKFAST” BREAD
“Made your 2-hour No Knead loaf, which I’ve made several times, but decided to experiment today. Added a large handful of Gerbs Super 5 Dried Fruit Mix, another handful of Anthony’s Organic Pumpkin Seeds and approximately 1 1/2 TBLS organic honey. After the 1 hour rest, followed directions, but formed into a loaf and rested on parchment paper in an oblong tinfoil pan. I then baked it in my clay loaf baker with lid (amazon.com). My husband and I agreed it’s the best “breakfast” loaf ever! It rose and baked so beautifully that I took a picture and sent it to you.Thanks for this incredible, versatile, forgiving recipe!”
– That sounds incredible, and perfect for breakfast. Thank you. – jenny
I found some beautiful organic blueberries yesterday and I put the whole box into this gorgeous loaf! 🫐 Has anybody noticed that blueberries aren’t really blue? They’re kind of purple. Whatever color they are, I love this loaf so much, not just for the lightly sweet taste, but for the health benefits of the berries. The deep hues are what fills blueberries with so many nutrients. Don’t just take it from me. WebMD says:
“Packed with antioxidants, blueberries are also high in potassium and vitamin C. Not only can they lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, they are also anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is a key driver of all chronic diseases.” I hope that motivates you to make this delicious lemon blueberry loaf. Click here for the recipe and don’t skimp on the berries!
