Hey Reader! It's technically not Fall yet, but the weather looks like it (at least here). So I spent the last week baking all sort of sweet and savory goods, from bread, to pasta bakes, to muffins and tarts (more recipes will come in the next weeks).

I used to eat it almost every day after school or after a grocery shopping trip with my mom, ripping warm pieces directly from the bakery bag in the car. When I moved abroad and started making it myself to satisfy the craving, I started to...
