A beloved baker returns with more than 100 whole–grain recipes to elevate your baking routine.
Known for her California bakery, Friends & Family, Roxana Jullapat has long advocated for the versatility and flavor of whole grains.

Her new, brightly photographed collection invites readers to get more adventurous with baking, featuring the tools and insights she’s learned from more than a decade of baking before the sun rises. Start with a hearty Banana–Date Muffin or dive into decadent doughnuts with a Maple–Brown Butter Glaze. Then, savor Dark Rye Rolls or Swiss Chard, Feta, and Egg Pide. Whole grains transform traditional recipes—from classic breakfast pancakes and flaky croissants to anytime quiches, scones, and sourdough breads—adding complexity and depth. Roxana’s rituals and thoughtful guidance ensure bakers understand the “why” behind every step. Morning Baker suits all skill levels, so anyone can be a morning baker in their own kitchen, at whatever hour they please.

You can see Roxana’s passion about whole grains in the writing. This was an informative library read and since I had buttermilk on hand I tried the Berry Oat Muffins, soaking the oats overnight in the fridge. They were definitely soft and moist but I think if I made them again I’d decrease the sugar a bit; they were plenty sweet and a delicious breakfast with peanut butter.
I don’t have a sourdough starter (yet!?) and I don’t really care for croissants, so a good portion of the recipes are ones I wouldn’t use right now. But I might try one of the yeasted loaf breads, perhaps rosemary, because I am lucky enough to have a local mill at my farmers’ market.

Excellent recipes for gluten free and standard sourdough pancakes. I love the detailed descriptions of various artisanal flours. I can’t wait to try more recipes from this book!
