BA Bake Club: Salt Bread
3 november 2026 · 52 min
Imagine a Parker House roll having a tryst with Asian-style milk bread and a classic French croissant—that’s the essence of salt bread, a.k.a. shio pan in Japan and sogeum-ppang in Korea. Lees meer
“These little buns…they look so cute, but they are so rich,” guest contributor, and our deputy food editor, Hana Asbrink explains to BA Bake Club hosts Jesse Szewczyk and Shilpa Uskokovic. “You can really just snack on them solo and be so satisfied.”
This month’s episode is also more bittersweet than usual, as Shilpa reveals that she is leaving Bon Appétit to take on new projects. “I'm so proud of Bake Club,” says Shilpa. “Thank you to all of our readers and listeners. You really have made this the most wholesome corner of the internet and my career.”
We can’t let her go without a proper send off. Follow Shilpa on Instagram to see what comes next in her baking adventures. And fret not, BA Bake Club will continue full steam ahead with Jesse at the helm!

BA Bake Club: Glazed Apple Pie Fritters
6 oktober 2026 · 55 min
“I've always wanted to go to a state fair,” Shilpa tells co-host and fellow Test Kitchen editor Jesse Szewczyk. “I only know that there's a lot of fried food, and there's sometimes butter sculptures…. Oh my God, what a magical place this sounds like!” Lees meer
In her latest BA Bake Club drop, Shilpa makes at least a part of this dream a reality in the form of her Glazed Apple Pie Fritters. They’re studded with tender chunks of apple, and spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, and yes, deep fried.
Food journalist and podcaster Mark Bittman and his co-host and daughter Kate Bittman from the podcast Food with Mark Bittman stopped by to help coach Kate in the fine art of frying. “Frying dough is kind of benign, right?” assures Mark. “And once it's browned, it's done…so start with that [cue for beginners].” It’s as easy as apple…fritters.

BA Bake Club: Plum Karpatka
1 september 2026 · 53 min
For the past six years, senior Test Kitchen editor Jesse Szewyczk has been trying to get a karpatka recipe published. Even though he’d never made one in its entirety before. But he knew BA’s Bake Club was the perfect place to showcase what he calls the drag queen of Polish desserts. Lees meer
“I've made every component before,” Jesse tells his co-host Shilpa Uskokovic. “I just haven't arranged the puzzle pieces in this fashion.”
“We hope that that's what people in Bake Club take away,” adds Shilpa. “That by having these building blocks, you can make all these things, even if they're the first time you're making them.”
Jesse’s version has an American twist (a no-bake cheesecake filling) and a nod to his Polish roots (the plum compote).
Listeners also weighed in with questions about and photos of their sky-high desserts and we awarded our Baker of the Month. We also had a visit from a beloved star baker in The Great British Baking Show (a.k.a. Bake-Off for those in the UK). Season nine finalist Ruby Bhogal stopped by the podcast to talk about her new book Around The World in 80 Cakes. And yes, there is a karpatka in it!

BA Bake Club: Sweet Corn Butter Mochi With Coconut Crunch
4 augustus 2026 · 51 min
There were anxious whispers behind the scenes ahead of the Bake Club July recipe reveal. Concerns floated around that it might have been a bit too esoteric. Sweet corn in a cake? And not just any cake but a delightfully bouncy butter mochi made with sweet rice flour. Senior Test Kitchen editors Shilpa Uskokovic and Jesse Szweczyk were bracing for the reactions in the comments section when Shilpa’s Sweet Corn Butter Mochi With Coconut Crunch recipe finally dropped. Lees meer
“We were not slightly worried. I was like, "This is gonna flop." This is it for us,” recalls Jesse on the BA Bake Club Podcast. But, the Bake Club community once again proved themselves to be the confident, curious bakers we know and love. The cake is a hit!
“I hope you guys know how much it means to us,” says Shilpa. “I'm very touched every month when you guys bake our recipes, and we see you in the Substack chat and you post these pictures. So, this is very heartwarming for me.”
The love fest continues as we award Baker of the Month to one bake clubber who dared to pair his Sweet Corn Butter Mochi with dinner, not dessert.
Plus, we (virtually) jetted off to Hawaii to catch up with Katherine Yang, who ran the incredibly successful by-order cake bakery, Gigi Blue, and is currently executive pastry chef at Mille Fête in Honolulu’s Chinatown. To learn about the dessert scene in Hawaii and pick up a few tips for the perfect butter mochi cake, give the episode a listen.

On the latest episode of BA Bake Club, Jesse, Shilpa, and Rebecca take your questions, walking through the difference between a pie and a galette, how to avoid a soggy bottom, and why mayonnaise is that girl – at least when it comes to this recipe. Plus, they bestow the honor of Baker of the Month on one talented Bake Clubber – and try to stump each other with ingredients. How will soy milk and spam galette? You’ll have to listen to find out.

2 juni 2026 · 51 min
This month Bake Club is embracing every part of the lemon as co-host Jesse Szewczyk brings us his recipe for Whole Lemon Bars.
“These lemon bars did not start as lemon bars,” confesses Jesse to co-host Shilpa Uskokovic. “They went through a journey. First, they were marshmallows… and then they were marshmallow cookies, and then, something happened, they turned into lemon bars.”
On the latest episode of BA Bake Club, Jesse and Shilpa take your questions and bestow the honor of Baker of the Month on one talented Bake Clubber.
Make sure you join our BA Bake Club Substack for access to a bonus recipe for the Marshmallow That Became a Lemon Bar.

“We need more forces of good and positivity and innovation and creativity. That's why I started Bake Club, and I love that you all have BA Bake Club in the same way.” says Tosi.

BA Bake Club: Chocolate Guinness Cake
7 april 2026 · 45 min
This month, Bon Appétit’s Bake Club is putting a spin on a classic. Listen in as Jesse Szewczyk breaks down his popular recipe for Chocolate Guinness Cake.
“The cake came to me rather easily. I had a vision. I got lucky,” Jesse explains to co-host Shilpa Uskokovic. But the challenge came when it was time to develop the frosting. “I feel like everyone in the Test Kitchen had an opinion on what it should be…I definitely tried at least 10 different frostings.”
Ultimately, Jesse landed on a brown butter frosting as the perfect topper, not just for taste but also because it matched the visual of an expertly poured Guinness, with its creamy head. “It’s reinforced with just a tad of Guinness, two tablespoons,” says Jesse. “I found it important to have Guinness in both places.”
Jesse and Shilpa also dive deep into the mailbag and answer questions about the cake and troubleshoot issues listeners encountered.
Plus, baker and psychologist Helen Goh stops by in our “Baker You Should Know” segment. Helen confesses that she has been living a double life for years and explains how she juggled working with the acclaimed Yotam Ottolenghi on developing sweet treats while seeing patients in her psychology practice. Her latest book, Baking & the Meaning of Life, bridges the gap between the two worlds.

This month, Bake Club takes inspiration from a popular chain restaurant for our own take on a beautiful, fluffy and cheesy biscuit that is transformed with the help of Old Bay seasoning.

Jesse and Shilpa tackle listener questions and baker and writer Cheryl Day, a biscuit guru who made them everyday for 22 years in her bakery, stops by the clubhouse. Cheryl’s advice for the best biscuit is simple. “I would say: practice, practice, practice … then, take notes.”

Inspired by Shilpa’s childhood favorite, Black Forest gâteau, we dive into the inbox and dig into listener questions.

Just patch it back together.” Watch Shilpa make her fool-proof pavlova on Instagram.

We like big cinnamon buns and we cannot lie. December’s Bake Club is dedicated to the tireless efforts of Shilpa Uskokovic and her creation of a giant, gooey cinnamon roll. Not only is this recipe perfect for any festive gathering, but it also has all the nostalgia of a mall food court in the 90s. Shilpa tells Jesse about her decision to include two specialty ingredients and the importance that they had in shaping the structure of the recipe. And we meet another baker we think you should know: Patrick Shaw-Kitch of Brooklyn Granary & Mill. Patrick not only bakes, but mills his own flour for his creations and tells us why we should think more about where our flour comes from and how to harness it in our bakes. Lees meer
