Instructions

  1. 1 Pour milk into a large pot, then stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  2. 2 When milk begins to boil (small bubbles will first appear at the edges), turn off the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Milk will curdle; you may need to wait 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth. Pour milk through the cloth to catch the curds. Gather cheesecloth around the cheese and squeeze out as much liquid (whey) as you can. What is left in the cheesecloth is farmer's cheese. Use the whey for another use (some people drink it), or discard. Wrap cheese in plastic or place in an airtight container.

Instructions

  1. 1 Crack eggs into a large saucepan and beat with a whisk. Whisk in milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Cook over low to medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture fully forms curds and whey separates. This will take 20 to 30 minutes. Using higher heat or failing to stir will result in a big pan of sweet scrambled eggs.
  2. 2 Drain mixture into a colander lined with several layers of cheesecloth. Use the cloth to shape into a ball and twist the top to remove excess moisture. Secure with a twist tie and hang for 8 hours to overnight.

Instructions

  1. 1 Mix milk and water in a pot over low heat. Heat, stirring constantly, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pot reads 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Remove from heat. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Pour mixture into a cup or other cylindrical glass; sprinkle yeast on top. Let mixture rest until yeast is frothy and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Stir flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Pour in yeast mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. 3 Turn dough out on a floured work surface and knead quickly for 5 minutes. Shape dough into a ball. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add dough; toss around the bowl a few times to coat evenly with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Return dough back to the work surface and punch down. Coat your hands with a little olive oil and knead again for 1 minute. Divide into 5 balls. Flatten balls out into thick rectangles. Place rectangles of dough onto a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with a thin coat of olive oil. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while dough rests.
  6. 6 Bake bread in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Switch to the broil setting until the tops of rolls turn golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Cut rolls in half lengthwise.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Stir in the margarine, sugar and salt until melted. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Pour milk mixture into a large bowl. Beat in eggs, 1 1/2 cup flour, cardamom and yeast mixture. Cover and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
  3. 3 Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal pieces and then divide each piece into thirds. Roll out with your hands until the pieces are long enough to braid. Braid three pieces together to form a loaf; repeat twice to make three loaves. Place on lightly greased baking sheets and let rise for 40 minutes, until nearly doubled. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. 6 In a small bowl, mix together butter and confectioners' sugar. Stir in vanilla and 2 teaspoons milk to make a spreadable frosting. Spread the frosting over the cooled bread.
