Thanksgiving Stuffing Focaccia
For people who love carbs but don't love soggy stuffing, may we introduce a new favorite combination: Thanksgiving stuffing focaccia. The bread is slightly custardy on the inside from the moisture from the vegetables while still maintaining a biscuity crust like a Chicago deep-dish pizza. Topped with crisp sausage and packed with fresh sage and parsley, it's poised to become a new holiday staple.

Butter Swim Biscuits
Making biscuits usually involves cutting chilled butter into flour and racing against time before the dough warms up. This recipe throws all the rules out the window for the easiest biscuits you’ll ever make! A simple buttermilk dough gets mixed together and spread directly into a baking pan — no rolling pin, refrigeration or biscuit cutter needed. The trick is pouring in a stick of melted butter that submerges the dough (hence the name!) and seeps in as the biscuits bake for tender, flaky perfection.
