Instructions

  1. 1 Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk to blend and set aside for 8 minutes, or until yeast has activated and is very frothy.
  2. 2 Add 3 cups flour, 3 tablespoons butter, egg, and salt to the bowl. With the dough hook fitted, turn mixer on medium speed until the dough comes together into a ball. Turn speed down to a "2" (medium-low) and continue kneading for 3 minutes, until dough ball is smooth. If your dough is too wet, add a little bit more flour until the dough ball forms.
  3. 3 Cover bowl with a tea towel and set aside to rise until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  4. 4 Scrape dough out of the bowl and divide into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  5. 5 Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange dough balls in the baking dish. Cover again with the tea towel and set aside until well risen and puffy, 30 to 40 more minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. 7 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown and baked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
  8. 8 Remove from the oven and allow to cool a few minutes. Brush remaining tablespoon softened butter over the top of the warm rolls, allowing the butter to soak in.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine bread flour, yeast, salt, and water for dough in a bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon and mix until a very wet, soft, and sticky dough forms. Cover and leave at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
  2. 2 When ready to make the bialys, heat olive oil for filling in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally until onion softens, sweetens, and turns golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons poppy seeds, green onion, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine and cool down until needed.
  3. 3 Uncover dough; it should be bubbly. Scrape it away from the sides of the bowl with a spatula and transfer onto a floured work surface. Dust a little flour over top and gently press dough with your hands to flatten. Divide it into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball, using a bit of flour as needed. Stretch each ball gently and tuck dough under the bottom; place on a baking sheet lined with generously floured parchment paper or a silicone liner (such as Silpat®). Dust the tops with flour and carefully cover with a dish towel; let proof until just about doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  5. 5 Flour your fingers and pick up one dough ball. Press and pull on the center to form it into a ring shape; the center of the dough will be thin and the edges will be thicker. Make sure the centers are very thin but be careful not to tear them open. Repeat with remaining balls.
  6. 6 Fill the center of each with no more than a rounded teaspoon of onion-poppy seed filling, then gently press the filling up the sides toward the outer rings. (You will have extra filling.) Spray bialys with some cold water and sprinkle poppy seeds over top.
  7. 7 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until puffed and nicely browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for about 20 minutes before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make the pastry: Combine 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and instant yeast in a mixing bowl. Add water and room temperature butter; beat for 1 minute. Stir in remaining cup of flour and mix well. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl, turning to coat the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, make the filling: Place chopped apples and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 ½ tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well; add mixture to the saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow filling to cool.
  3. 3 Transfer Danish pastry dough to a floured surface and punch down. Let dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Roll dough out into a 13 x 8-inch rectangle. Place dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. 4 Turn the baking sheet so that you face the short side of the dough. Spread apple filling down the center third of the dough. With a sharp paring knife, make cuts in the dough along the right side, starting each cut about 1/4 inch from the apple filling. Cut to the edge of the dough strip, with each cut angled to about 4 o'clock. Each strip of dough should be about 1-inch thick. Repeat on the left side of the dough, angling the cuts to 8 o'clock.
  5. 5 Starting at the top, fold the dough strips across the apple filling, alternating left and right. The pastry will look like a long braid. Pinch the top and bottom ends of the braid to seal in the filling. Cover the pastry and let it rise at room temperature until the dough is puffy, 30 to 40 minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the braid for 20 minutes, covering it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool.
  7. 7 To make the glaze: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix in milk a teaspoon at a time until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Decorate the Danish braid with glaze.

  1. 1 Combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment; mix on low until combined. Add egg, warm water, butter, and vanilla; continue mixing on low until dough begins to come together, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and continue beating until dough is soft and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and set dough inside. Cover and let stand in a warm place (75 degrees F (23 degrees C)) until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  3. 3 Punch down the dough, and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 9x18-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Let rest, uncovered, at room temperature, about 10 minutes. Lightly spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  4. 4 While the dough is resting, stir together sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the filling in a small bowl until combined. Stir in melted butter until mixture is smooth. If dough shrank while resting, re-roll into a 9x 18-inch rectangle. Spread filling in an even layer over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  5. 5 Beginning with the long edge, roll dough gently into a log, pinching seam and ends to seal. Using a serrated knife, cut log in half lengthwise. With cut sides up, twist the two pieces together; tuck ends underneath and place into the prepared loaf pan. Whisk together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water; gently brush egg wash over the dough.
  6. 6 Stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping in a bowl until combined. Using your fingers, work in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle topping evenly over the loaf. Loosely cover loaf and let rise in a warm place (75 degrees F (23 degrees C)) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until babka is a deep golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 190 degrees F (87 degrees C), about 45 minutes. After about 25 minutes, cover babka with aluminum foil so surface does not get too dark.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make the poolish, whisk 1/2 teaspoon yeast into 1/2 cup warm water — 110 degrees F (45 degrees C) — in a bowl. Stir in whole wheat flour until resembles a thick batter. Beat for about 100 strokes to form longs strands of gluten. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 8 hours (longer is better for flavor development). You can also ripen in the refrigerator for 12 to 15 hours, bringing poolish back to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe. Poolish is ready when bubbly and loose, with a yeasty, sour aroma.
  2. 2 Scrape poolish into a bowl; stir in 2 1/2 cups warm water and remaining 1/2 teaspoon yeast until combined. Add bread flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough becomes too difficult to stir.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 to 12 minutes, adding more flour only when dough becomes too sticky to handle. Sprinkle salt over dough; continue kneading until smooth and springs back to the touch, 5 to 7 minutes more. Shape dough into a round; cover with a damp cloth for 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, 2 to 3 hours.
  5. 5 Punch down dough to deflate; cut into two pieces. Shape into two rounds, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  6. 6 Form dough rounds into baguettes. Place a heavily floured cloth on a baking sheet, arranging a fold down the center to separate the loaves. Place loaves, seam-sides up, on the floured cloth. Dust loaf tops with flour, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  8. 8 Sprinkle a separate baking sheet with cornmeal. Gently transfer risen loaves to prepared baking sheet, seam-sides down. Slash loaves several times on the diagonal with a serrated knife or razor blade.

  5. 5 Cut roll lengthwise down the middle using a sharp, non-serrated knife. Place two halves next to each other, cut-sides facing up, and braid together starting by placing right side over left. Do your best to keep the cut-sides facing upwards. Seal both ends of the braid and place into a greased loaf pan, cut-sides up.
  6. 6 Cover dough with plastic. Repeat rolling, filling, and braiding with the remaining dough. Let loaves rise until they reach the top of the loaf pan or start to peek above it, about 45 minutes.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Rotate pans and tent loaves with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  9. 9 Remove loaf pans from the oven; cool for 5 minutes. Cool loaves on a rack for 1 hour.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fit your food processor with a steel blade. Place the bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and softened butter in the processor; pulse to blend. Stir together hot water, milk and egg. Start the processor and slowly pour in the milk mixture into the feed tube until a ball forms around the blade. Run for 30 seconds to knead. Remove dough from processor and knead briefly by hand. 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.
  2. 2 Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x12 inch rectangle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough lengthwise into ten strips, and then cut these strips in half. Brush tops of strips with 2 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover, and let rise until nearly double, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. 3 Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn broiler on, and brush breadsticks with remaining melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Broil just until the cheese starts to turn light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

  1. 1 Whisk flour, powdered milk, yeast, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add butter and mix with your hands until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. 2 Gradually add water to flour mixture, using your hands to mix well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  3. 3 Lightly oil a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Gently punch down dough. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and form into balls. Cover with a light cloth and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. Dough may expand, but it's okay if it does not.
  5. 5 Place a ball of dough on a lightly floured surface and press with the palm of your hand. Bring two opposite sides of dough together and pinch. Repeat with remaining opposite sides. Pull and press dough to form a flat, elongated diamond-like shape. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover with a cloth and let rest at least 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine masa harina and boiling water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until crumbly and set aside to soften for a few minutes. Combine bread flour, gluten, sugar, salt, and yeast in a small bowl.
  2. 2 Pour milk into the bowl with the masa; add flour mixture and lard. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until dough is well combined and clears the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. Scrape dough down and mix for 5 minutes more to develop the gluten; dough will be very stiff.
  3. 3 Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours. Place butter in the same mixing bowl and use the paddle attachment on low speed to break it up. Mix just until smooth.
  4. 4 Scrape butter onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Form into a 7-inch square. Cover with another piece of parchment and smooth the top with a rolling pin. Re-form the edges of your square if necessary; a little fussing now will save you some trouble later on as you roll out the dough. Place butter square in the refrigerator to chill.
  5. 5 Transfer dough onto a floured work surface. Pat it into a square, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours.
  6. 6 Remove butter square from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before you plan to roll the dough; it needs to be cool and pliable.
  7. 7 Transfer dough onto a floured work surface. Roll it into a square a little larger than the butter square. Leaving a 7-inch square platform in the center for the butter, roll each of the 4 corners of dough out into elongated flaps that can wrap around the butter like a present.
  8. 8 Place butter square in the center of the dough, fold up the flaps, and pinch together to seal. Roll dough out into a rectangle. Fold in thirds, like a business letter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  9. 9 Return dough to the work surface; dust with flour if needed. Roll dough out into a longer rectangle; you're going to do a 4-fold, also called the "book fold." Fold the left edge of the dough into the center of the rectangle; fold the right side in to meet it. Then fold it in half again, like a wallet. Return dough to the parchment-lined baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  10. 10 Place dough on the work surface, roll out into a rectangle again, and make the final turn: another 3-fold, like a business letter. Cover and return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes; the dough can also be frozen at this point.
  11. 11 Slice dough in half and return 1 piece to the refrigerator to stay cool. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cutter to create 5-inch circles. Transfer circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for 1 hour. Shape dough scraps into "tacro cups" and place in the cups of a muffin tin; let rise. Repeat both steps with remaining dough.
  12. 12 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Gently fold a dough circle in half to form a taco shell shape; holding it with tongs, lower it into the oil. Hold it closed for about 10 seconds. Fry 2 shells at a time until golden, turning once, about 3 minutes total. Repeat with remaining dough circles, maintaining the oil heat between 350 and 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drain tacro shells on paper towels.
  13. 13 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  14. 14 Bake tacro cups in the muffin tin until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Fill cups and shells with your favorite taco fillings.
