9 Baked Staples for the Fall

Panettone with Dark Chocolate, Figs, and Almonds

While traditionally prepared over Christmas and New Years, our Panettone with Dark Chocolate, Figs, and Almonds makes for a delicious fall recipe.

Begin by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and let them sit out at room temperature between 8 and 12 hours. The Dutch Oven or the Oval Casserole can be used for this recipe, creating the perfect environment for the dough to rise. Their tight-fitting lids lock in heat and moisture, ensuring your Panettone will not be lacking in flavour.

The addition of dark chocolate, figs and almonds complement the traditional Panettone recipe wonderfully, offering both texture and flavour to this Milanese delight. Once your ingredients are at room temperature, this recipe takes just over two hours to prepare, serving up to twelve people.

Lavender Roasted Pears

Pear season tends to fall in early September, and our Lavender Roasted Pears recipe is a great dish to make the most of this. Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F and buttering the inside of your Rectangular Casserole.

Next, combine the sugar and lavender in a food processor, before peeling, halving, and coring the pears. Once that is complete, toss the pears with three tablespoons of your lavender sugar, and lay the pears cut side down in the casserole. The Rectangular Casserole will expose the pears to a consistent heat source, baking them until they are barely soft. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes.

The final step is to flip the pears cut side up before returning them to the oven. Cook the lavender roasted pears until they are caramelized before serving them with fresh raspberries, crème fraiche and a drizzle of honey. This recipe takes under an hour to prepare from start to finish, serving over ten portions.

Pain Perdu

Pain Perdu, commonly referred to as French Toast, makes for a great breakfast recipe for the whole family and can quickly become a fall staple in your household. This recipe is easy to put together and allows you to introduce new flavours and ingredients to your breakfast table.

Bring the cream, milk and vanilla to a simmer in a saucepan and cook gently. Next, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and salt together and mix well, before dipping the sliced brioche in the remaining custard. The final step is to layer the baking dish appropriately until it is completely full.

Our Heritage collection is ideal for this Pain Perdu recipe, delivering a perfectly balanced fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Serving up to six portions in under an hour, this recipe is a great option for serving the whole family or when hosting a brunch.

Cinnamon Buns

Always wondered how to prepare homemade cinnamon buns? Our recipe has you covered. Like with any cinnamon buns, once you have the dough just right, the rest of the recipe follows.

With all your ingredients mixed together, introduce the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. As the dough is rising, combine 250 ml sugar and 100 ml water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Next, line up the dough on a lightly floured surface and begin rolling it into a thin rectangle.

Finish by brushing your dough with syrup and sprinkling even quantities of cinnamon, sugar, and raisins. Fold the long side of the rectangle over and roll the dough into a spiral. Our Oval Casserole will take care of the rest, baking them until they are golden brown. This recipe takes just over an hour to prepare, serving between four and six portions.

Orange Almond Cake

Our Orange Almond Cake is a great recipe to make the most of our Heritage Square Dish, taking full advantage of the almond season between August and October.

Begin by preheating your oven and generously buttering the inside of your dish. With that complete, add whole oranges in a pot and let them simmer for approximately one hour, or until they are very soft. Next, slice them into wedges, removing any seeds, before puréeing the oranges.

Preparing the batter is a crucial part of this recipe, combining ground almonds, baking powder, turmeric, and salt. The almonds add some much-needed texture to this cake, complementing the rich orange flavour to perfection. Bake the batter along with the orange purée for approximately one hour before putting it on the cooling rack.

The last step involves combining the orange juice, sugar, honey and orange liqueur or vanilla extract to create a delicious orange syrup. Finish by brushing the cake with half of the orange syrup while it is still warm. Our Orange Almond Cake recipe takes just under two hours to make, accommodating between six and eight servings.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread Pudding

Our Cinnamon Swirl Bread Pudding is yet another delicious fall treat you can prepare with ease thanks to our Heritage collection. Alternatively, the Heart-Shaped Cocotte can also be used, creating the ideal environment for ingredients to blend together.

Begin by cutting the cinnamon swirl bread into one-inch cubes and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. If you have the time, let them sit overnight at room temperature or bake the bread cubes in a 325°F oven until dry. Combine the whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom in a bowl, before folding in the bread cubes.

Next, refrigerate for 30 minutes and transfer the mixture into your Cocotte or Oval Casserole. Bake for approximately 55 to 65 minutes until the bread is puffed and golden. Finish by sprinkling powdered sugar and a dollop of sweetened whipped cream!

Cranberry Sage Slab Pie

Our Cranberry Sage Slab Pie is a great recipe to ring in the fall, featuring a number of the freshest ingredients, including cranberries, apples, oranges and a dash of cinnamon.

Our Large Sheet Pan accommodates this recipe with ease, exposing the pie crust to a consistent heat source without burning it. This will result in a perfectly cooked crust, providing some much-needed texture and flavour.

The combination of sage, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cornstarch, and cinnamon with freshly chopped cranberries makes for a great pie mixture, ensuring your dish is not lacking in flavour. This delicious Cranberry Sage Slab Pie takes just under two hours to prepare and can serve between four and six portions.

No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Date Bars

Our No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Date Bars can be prepared with five simple steps, and as the name suggests, do not require baking. Combining dark chocolate with Medjool dates, this recipe makes for a delicious snack. While the Medjool dates are at the heart of this recipe, the pumpkin seeds inject a much-needed crunch to these bars.

Once dates, pumpkin seeds, nut butters and honey have been blended until smooth and combined with the chopped nuts, spread out the mixture evenly in a Rectangular Casserole. Next, refrigerate it for approximately 30 minutes to cool and firm up.

Finish by melting the chocolate and spread it evenly on the date mixture in the Rectangular Dish. This recipe takes just under two hours to make, highlighting the versatility of our iconic Heritage Collection.
