Hana Sato, dessert and baking curator – cookies, brownies, cakes and breads with clear steps.

Profile:

Hana Sato's recipes center on the oven: cookies baked in about 20 minutes, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, pumpkin cinnamon rolls in 45 minutes and chocolate lava cakes sized for four. Nearly all of her recipes are desserts, with the occasional bake for breakfast or lunch.

What sets her recipes apart is the attention to detail. Quantities are given in both cups and grams, and bake times come with cues you can check yourself, such as set edges, a springy center or a deep golden crust. She also likes small-batch and short-timeline ideas, from a pan of brownies for two or three people to sourdough discard crackers ready in 35 minutes, so a sweet or baked treat fits an ordinary evening and not only a special occasion.

Ingredients are mostly pantry staples, and techniques stay approachable, whether the project is a no-knead loaf or a layered cake. Browse her latest recipes below to find a bake that suits the time and the oven space you have.
