Instructions

1. 1 Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy.
2. 2 Meanwhile, generously oil a large bowl.
3. 3 Stir sugar, milk, egg, and salt into the yeast mixture. Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough.
4. 4 Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 6 to 8 minutes.
5. 5 Place dough in the prepared oil, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
6. 6 Punch down dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball; you should have about 14. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
7. 7 Meanwhile, preheat a large grill pan over high heat.

• ✓ active dry yeast
• sugar
• water
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1 Dissolve sugar in water in a 2-cup measuring cup; gently stir in yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and top is foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. 2 Whisk 3 3/4 cups flour and salt together in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Pour yeast mixture into well; stir gently, starting from the middle, until a sticky dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead, adding more flour if needed, until dough is elastic and no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.
3. 3 Oil a large bowl; add dough and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) with one rack in center position and one rack in lowest position.
5. 5 Fill a roasting pan with water; place on lower rack. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
6. 6 Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Form into 1 large loaf (or 6 sandwich loaves), tapering the end(s). Place loaf (or loaves) on the prepared baking sheet. Cut 3 or 4 diagonal slashes, about 1/4- to 1/2-inch, across top(s). Cover with a dry towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
7. 7 Uncover loaf (or loaves); bake in the preheated oven on the center rack until top is light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes depending on size of the loaves.

• sugar
• milk
• yogurt
• butter
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• baking powder
• nigella seed

Instructions

1. 1 Put warm water in a small bowl, add sugar and yeast and stir until dissolved. Set aside for 5-10 minutes or until it foams.
2. 2 Blend in the warm milk, yogurt and melted margarine. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and poppy seeds. Pour in the yeast/milk mixture all at once and work it into the flour, using your hands. Continue mixing, adding flour or water as needed, until the mixture leaves the sides of the bowl.
3. 3 Knead for 6 to 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand in a warm place to rise for about 4 hours or until doubled in volume.
4. 4 Preheat oven to 550 degrees F (285 degrees C) or your oven's highest setting and set a rack in the lower third of the oven. Place a large pizza pan or iron griddle on the rack and preheat. Also preheat the broiler.
5. 5 Punch the dough down and knead briefly. Divide into six pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on an oiled plate and cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap. Let balls rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Roll out and stretch each ball until it is about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. Remove the pizza pan from the oven, brush with oil and place one of pieces of bread on it.
6. 6 Bake at 550 degrees F (285 degrees C) for about 4 to 5 minutes until bread is puffed and has brown spots, then transfer to a wire rack, returning pizza pan to oven to keep hot. Place bread under broiler until 'charcoal' dots appear on the surface. Wrap finished bread in a towel while baking the remaining loaves. (If your pizza pan is big enough, try baking two loaves at the time.)

By Rebecca Radnor

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• salt
• bread flour

Instructions

1. 1 Place yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk to mix. Add flour and salt.
2. 2 Knead with dough hook until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough ball and easily pulls away from the sides and the hook, about 5 minutes. (If still too sticky, add a bit more flour and knead a few more seconds.) Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dough and sides of bowl a few drops of vegetable oil. Spread a film of oil over the surface of the dough.
3. 3 Cover the bowl and transfer to a warm, draft-free place until dough is doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
4. 4 Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Form into a rectangle shape and cut into 6 equal pieces. Using your cupped hand and the work surface, roll each section of dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and let rest 15 minutes.
5. 5 Flatten dough balls into 6- or 7-inch long ovals. Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a cylinder, applying extra pressure to the ends to form pointy tips for a classic French roll shape. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (do not crowd them) and cover with clean dry towels until doubled, about 1 hour.
6. 6 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
7. 7 With a very sharp knife, score each roll about 1/4 inch deep along one side somewhere between the side and the top. Spritz loaves lightly with water from a spray bottle.
8. 8 Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes. Spritz loaves again and rotate pans for a more even bake. Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely before cutting.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• salt
• vegetable oil
• white sugar
• bread flour

Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size.
2. 2 Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
3. 3 Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled.
4. 4 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• vegetable shortening

Instructions

1. 1 Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a mixing bowl and allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 cups of flour, salt, and shortening; beat for 2 minutes with a fork. Stir in as much of the remaining 1 1/2 cup flour as needed.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, kneading in more flour if dough is sticky. Form into a ball, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest in a warm area for 15 minutes.
3. 3 Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
4. 4 Divide dough into 12 equal portions; flour your hands and roll each piece into a ball. Cover dough balls with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Flatten the balls into rounds on a floured surface, cover with kitchen towel, and let rest 10 more minutes. Gently roll each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter on a floured surface. Place pita breads in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.
5. 5 Bake in preheated oven until the pita breads puff up, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip breads over with a spatula, return to oven, and bake 2 more minutes. Let cool on wire racks before cutting pita breads in half and gently separating tops and bottoms to form pockets for filling.
