Every year I make a \u201cbaking bucket list<\/strong>\u201d\u2014a collection of recipes and techniques I want to tackle next. This roundup gathers some of the dessert and savory bakes that have landed on that list over the years, including French macarons<\/a> and homemade puff pastry<\/a>. This list is helpful if you\u2019re ready to challenge yourself and try something new.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a best-selling baking cookbook author<\/a>, I\u2019ve made my fair share of sweet treats. And every year, I put together a list of new baking projects I want to tackle: my Baking Bucket List<\/strong>. I include recipes and techniques that I\u2019ve been meaning to try, bakes that once felt intimidating, and a few past \u201cfails\u201d that I\u2019m ready to revisit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple years ago, mille-feuille<\/a> was at the top of the list (check!). Last year, I focused on mastering brioche<\/a> (check!). I also added homemade challah\u2014and we published an orange-glazed challah recipe in my preorder bonus PDF. Have you tried it yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, I have my sights set on a meringue roulade and a brand-new chiffon cake recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought you might enjoy browsing some of the recipes that have landed on my Baking Bucket List<\/strong> over the years. Many of them are a bit more challenging, but they\u2019re also incredibly rewarding to pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these recipes, like ciabatta bread<\/a>, have been assigned “challenge recipes”, part of an ongoing tradition on my website called Sally’s Baking Challenge. This is a fun and optional community effort where readers bake an assigned monthly recipe for the chance to win a prize. See Sally’s Baking Challenge details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any baking projects you\u2019ve been itching to try? Maybe a recipe that once felt intimidating, and now you\u2019re ready for a challenge. Scroll on for inspiration, go at your own pace, or set a goal to try two new recipes a month and work your way through the list by year\u2019s end. However you tackle it, just have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
