Instructions

  1. 1 Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
  3. 3 Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
  4. 4 Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
  5. 5 Dust a clean work surface with flour. Fold dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
  6. 6 Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
  7. 7 Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
  8. 8 Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place yeast into the bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in ½ cup flour and warm water until smooth. Set aside until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups).
  3. 3 Knead dough in the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
  4. 4 Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but should not stick to your fingers. Gently form dough into a smooth, round shape, tucking loose ends underneath.
  5. 5 Wipe out the stand mixer bowl; drizzle in olive oil. Place dough in the oiled bowl; flip several times until the surface is thinly coated with oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil; let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  6. 6 Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  7. 7 Transfer dough to a floured work surface; pat to flatten any bubbles and form into a slightly rounded, 5x10-inch rectangle, about ½-inch thick.
  8. 8 Dust dough lightly with flour if needed; cut into eight equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape; gently tuck ends underneath as before.
  9. 9 Gently pat and stretch dough rounds into flat, ½-inch-thick bun discs using your hands. Arrange buns about ½ inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  10. 10 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  11. 11 Beat remaining 1 egg and milk together in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating risen dough. Sprinkle buns with sesame seeds.
  12. 12 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on tops, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Cool completely. Tear buns apart. Slice in half crosswise to serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine milk, butter, and margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until butter and margarine are melted, but do not let it boil. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until dissolved, then set aside to cool to lukewarm.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, dissolve 2 teaspoons of sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface, and let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Crack eggs into a large bowl, and stir a little to break up the yolks. Slowly pour in heated milk mixture while whisking constantly, so as to temper the eggs and not cook them. Add yeast mixture, and stir just until blended.
  4. 4 Combine flour, baking powder, mahleb, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center, and pour in egg mixture. Stir until it forms a sticky dough. Pour onto a floured surface, and knead in additional flour as needed to make a more substantial dough. Knead for about 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, and set in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. 5 When dough has doubled, punch down again, and let rise until doubled. It will only take about half as long this time.
  6. 6 Separate dough into 5 even portions, then separate each of those into thirds. Roll each of those into ropes about 12 inches long. Braid sets of three ropes together, pinching the ends to seal, and tucking them under for a better presentation. Place loaves onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Loaves should be spaced 4 inches apart. Set in a warm place to rise until your finger leaves an impression behind when you poke the loaf gently.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush loaves with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely golden brown all over, about 25 minutes.

  1. 1 Place the sesame seeds into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir constantly until the seeds are toasted a golden brown and make a continuous crackling noise, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the seeds immediately to a bowl to stop the cooking process. Set seeds aside.
  2. 2 Place sesame oil in the hot skillet, and heat until it just begins to smoke (this should happen very fast). Place mustard greens into the hot oil, and pour in water. With a spatula, gently toss the greens until they are wilted and reduced in quantity, about 2 minutes. Mix in garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sake, and sugar.
  3. 3 Bring the mixture to a boil, stir until sugar has dissolved, and cover the skillet. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If a thicker sauce is desired, remove greens with a slotted spoon, and cook the liquid down to desired thickness; return greens to the skillet, toss in the pan juices, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
