Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Add lentils and water to a blender, or food processor and soak for at least 3 hours.
  3. 3 Blend lentils until they are very smooth. Season with salt. (Batter can be used immediately, but for best results refrigerate overnight).
  4. 4 To cook, heat a non-stick pan on medium-high. Grease lightly with olive oil and allow to get hot. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter to the hot pan.
  5. 5 Use the bottom of a ladle or spoon to spread out into a 5 or 6 inch circle. Lower heat to medium, and adjust from there if needed. Cook the first side for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, before flipping over.
  6. 6 Cook the second side for about 2 minutes, before transferring to a plate. Keep warm flatbreads covered with a towel while cooking and stacking.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place starter into a bowl. Add bread flour, water, and salt; mix until well blended and sticky.
  3. 3 Cover with aluminum foil and let stand for 4 hours at 70 to 75 degrees F (21 to 24 degrees C).
  4. 4 Uncover dough and use wet hands to fold it over onto itself three to four times. Cover again with foil and let ferment for 2 more hours.
  5. 5 Generously dust a proofing basket (banneton) with rice flour.
  6. 6 Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Shape into a ball with a smooth, unbroken surface, using just enough flour on the surface to keep it from sticking. Place dough into the prepared basket with the smooth side down. Pinch the rougher edges on the surface together toward the center to smooth them while maintaining a round ball shape.
  7. 7 Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours to slow the fermentation process.
  8. 8 Remove the banneton from the refrigerator. Let sit in a warm spot until dough springs back slowly and retains a slight indentation when poked gently with a finger, about 3 to 5 hours.
  9. 9 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. 10 Dust surface of dough with flour. Gently invert the banneton over the center of the baking sheet and flip dough out onto the parchment paper. Gently brush off excess rice flour. Score top of dough about 1/8-inch deep with a sharp knife to create a shallow slit running across the center. Mist the entire surface lightly with water.
  11. 11 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
  12. 12 Transfer loaf to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the top position. Preheat a heavy baking sheet in the oven.
  2. 2 Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with 1 teaspoon flour, or as needed.
  3. 3 Place 1 cup flour into a mixing bowl; set a timer for 16 minutes (18 minutes maximum). Start the timer; pour water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour. Stir with a fork until dough forms a rough ball.
  4. 4 Transfer dough to the prepared work surface; knead rapidly and firmly until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  5. 5 Divide dough into 4 equal-sized pieces; cut each piece in half to get 8 pieces. Swiftly roll each piece into a ball. Working from the center, roll out each dough piece into a 5-inch-diameter round, dusting with flour as needed. Continue to gradually roll dough out to a diameter of about 8 inches, increasing each size by about 1 inch, then letting dough rest for a few seconds before rolling again to the finished size. The dough rounds will be very thin.
  6. 6 Use a fork to quickly pierce through each dough round about 25 times, all over, to prevent rising. Flip dough over and pierce each piece again 25 times.
  7. 7 With at least 5 minutes left on the timer, remove the hot baking sheet from the preheated oven and place dough rounds onto the baking sheet.
  8. 8 Bake on the top rack in the preheated oven for 2 minutes; flip matzah over and bake until lightly browned and crisp, about 2 more minutes.
  9. 9 Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Use a brush to lightly anoint each matzah with olive oil. Season generously with salt.

Instructions

  1. 1 Stir bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined; set aside.
  2. 2 Gently whisk 1 1/4 cups warm water and yeast together in a small bowl. Allow to rest at room temperature until foamy and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Make a shallow well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir together using a spatula until a coarse dough begins to form. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and begin kneading, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Shape dough into a ball and place in a large bowl lightly greased with cooking spray. Cover the bowl with a towel lightly dampened with warm water and set aside in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  5. 5 Lightly grease a 7- to 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper; lightly grease parchment paper with cooking spray; set aside.
  6. 6 Using your fingers, gently press down on dough to deflate slightly and transfer to a work surface that has been very lightly dusted with flour. Gently knead dough 2 or 3 times, preserving as many air bubbles as possible. Using the sides of your hands, shape dough into a ball by pulling the sides under until a smooth and slightly shiny surface develops. Gently transfer dough to the prepared cake pan and lightly dust with flour; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. 7 Add remaining 1 cup water and a steam rack to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot); place cake pan on the rack. Close and lock the lid. Turn vent to Sealing position. Select Manual/Yogurt setting; set timer for 1 hour. Dough will rise in cooker and double in size. Press Cancel.
  8. 8 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  9. 9 Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting on the Instant Pot. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 40 minutes. Allow 3 to 5 minutes for pressure to build.
  10. 10 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 8 to 10 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Carefully remove the cake pan as it will be hot; remove aluminum foil.
  11. 11 Transfer cake pan to the preheated oven and bake until bread is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove bread from the cake pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, about 30 minutes. Using a bread knife, slice loaf crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine cassava flour, salt, cayenne, butter, and Cheddar cheese in a large bowl by rubbing the mixture between your fingertips until it resembles large, coarse crumbs. Drizzle in milk and continue mixing and rubbing with your hands until the mixture resembles very small pebbles and is moist enough to hold together in large clumps when squeezed tightly together; add more milk if needed.
  2. 2 Place a small (6-inch) dry, nonstick pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Transfer in a heaping 1/2 cup cassava mixture or enough to cover the bottom of the pan. The mixture should be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch deep. Press the top of the mixture down slightly to settle and use a spatula to go around the edges of the mixture, pressing any loose crumbs back into the flatbread.
  3. 3 Cover and cook until the bottom is golden brown, a crust forms under the flatbread, and a spatula can be slid underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn over with a combination of tossing the pan up slightly while flipping with the spatula. You can also place a plate over the pan, then invert the flatbread and slide it back into the pan. Cook the other side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving warm.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Place 1/2 cup flour, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Pour in warm water. Whisk together thoroughly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. 3 Cover bowl and let sit until mixture gets bubbly, 30 to 60 minutes.
  4. 4 Drizzle in olive oil; add salt and remaining 1 cup flour. Mix together until mixture forms a sticky (not wet) dough ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If mixture seems too wet, add a bit more flour.
  5. 5 Lightly flour a work surface. Knead dough until it is soft, supple, and slightly elastic, about 2 minutes. Pour a few drops of olive oil in a bowl. Transfer dough ball to the bowl and turn to coat surface with oil.
  6. 6 Cover bowl and place in a warm spot. Let dough rise until it has doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
  7. 7 Transfer dough to a work surface and knead to remove air bubbles, about 1 minute. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; refrigerate, 8 hours or overnight.
  8. 8 Lightly flour a work surface; dough may be sticky so make sure you use enough flour to keep dough from sticking to the surface or your hands (but less flour is best). Break off a piece of dough slightly smaller than a golf ball. Roll into a smooth ball. Flatten and roll out into a circle about 1/8-inch thick.
  9. 9 Invert a smooth mixing bowl on the work surface; lightly flour the bottom. Lightly stretch the dough and place the dough circle on the floured surface of the inverted bowl. Gently stretch dough evenly down the sides of the bowl, working your way around the edges, until it is very thin and translucent, or as thin as you can get it without tearing it.
  10. 10 Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Flour your hands and carefully remove the dough circle from the bottom of the bowl. Transfer to hot skillet. Cook until blisters form and begin to brown, about 45 to 60 seconds per side.
  11. 11 Transfer to a dish and cover to allow bread to steam and stay moist and supple.

  1. 1 Add masa harina to a large bowl; add water and salt. Stir with your fingers until dough starts to pull together.
  2. 2 Knead for a few minutes until smooth and texture resembles modeling clay or putty. Add more water if dough is too dry and more flour if too wet.
  3. 3 Place a damp towel over dough to keep it from drying out. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Cut a resealable plastic bag into 2 rounds the same size as your tortilla press; set aside. Place a clean kitchen towel over a pie dish for cooked tortillas; set aside
  5. 5 Place 1 plastic round on bottom of the tortilla press. Pull off a little piece of dough, enough to roll into a 1 1/2-inch, about 1-ounce ball. Place dough ball in center of plastic round and press down lightly; cover dough with remaining plastic round.
  6. 6 Fold tortilla press over, applying pressure to lever arm until tortilla flattens to desired thickness.
  7. 7 Open tortilla press; peel off top plastic round. Align your index finger on edge of bottom plastic round at edge of tortilla; flip it over into your other hand using your index finger. Carefully peel off plastic.
  8. 8 Gently slide tortilla, with your palm up, into a hot, dry skillet over medium- to medium-high heat. Cook 1 side for 30 to 45 seconds; flip and cook other side for 1 minute. Flip and press once or twice with a spatula until tortilla puffs up slightly; cook for 30 seconds. Flip and cook 5 to 10 seconds.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).
  2. 2 Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with a layer of kosher salt. Place the roast, bone side down, on the salt. Season the meat with the ground black pepper and seasoning salt, then cover completely with kosher salt.
  3. 3 Roast in preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  4. 4 Remove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes. This sets the juices and makes the roast easier to carve. (Note: Be sure to remove all the salt from the roast before serving.)
