Ingredients

• ✓ sea salt
• all-purpose flour
• water
• water
• olive oil
• salt
• olive oil
• cornmeal
• crescenza-stracchino cheese
• olive oil

Instructions

1. 1 Place flour into work bowl of a large stand mixer; add both amounts of water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Mix dough using stand mixer fitted with dough hook on low speed until it forms a ball on the dough hook, 5 to 6 minutes. Dough should be soft and elastic but not sticky.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a work surface and form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand on counter at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. 3 Lightly grease the quarter-sheet baking pan with 1 teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle with cornmeal. Dust a work surface lightly with flour.
4. 4 Move oven rack to center position. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
5. 5 Unwrap dough and cut into quarters. Pat each quarter out on the floured work surface to a roughly rectangular shape. Roll 1 piece of dough out to about 3/8 inch thick, retaining rough rectangle shape, until dough is about 6x8 inches. Pick up dough with well-floured hands and gently stretch it, rotating as you go, until dough is almost large enough to fit over the prepared sheet pan. Pull and stretch dough so it overlaps the edge of the pan by about 1/2 inch and fasten dough edges to sheet pan edges; dough will be thin and membrane-like.
6. 6 Drop about 6 tablespoons of crescenza-stracchino cheese onto the stretched dough, spreading the dollops out evenly. Roll out another piece of dough as before, stretching to fit over the first dough sheet and cheese. Stretch, pull, and seal dough as before so the cheese is enclosed between the 2 sheets of dough.
7. 7 Roll a rolling pin over the edges of the dough to simultaneously seal the flatbread edges and cut the overlapping edges off. Roll the overlapping dough edges away from the pan so flatbread falls into the prepared pan. Press flatbread edges flat and roll slightly if desired to be sure the edges are fully sealed. Discard rolled-off dough edges.
8. 8 Pinch a small bit of the top dough between your thumb and forefinger and gently tear a small hole in the dough; repeat 2 or 3 more times to make a few tears in the top layer.
9. 9 Drizzle flatbread lightly with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until flatbread has many browned, blistered spots on top, bread has inflated, and the top is crusty, 6 to 7 minutes. Repeat steps to make a second flatbread using second half of dough as before. Drizzle 2nd flatbread with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt. Bake second bread as before. Cut in breads into quarters and serve warm.

Ingredients

• ✓ sea salt
• olive oil
• all-purpose flour
• spelt flour
• active dry yeast
• kosher salt
• water
• rosemary
• cornmeal

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all your ingredients.
2. 2 Grease a large bowl with olive oil.
3. 3 Combine all-purpose flour, spelt flour, yeast, and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add water and knead until dough is smooth, elastic, wet, and sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl. Cover and let rise on the counter for 30 minutes.
4. 4 Uncover the dough. Wet one hand and grab one side of the dough in the bowl. Pull it up slightly and fold it in towards the center. Repeat this folding technique 6 or 7 more times, turning the bowl slightly in between each fold. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
5. 5 Repeat Step 3 (above) two more times. Dough will have rested for a total of 2 hours.
6. 6 Bake the Fougasse
7. 7 Repeat folding technique once more. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
8. 8 When ready to bake, line a sheet pan with a silicone liner; sprinkle some flour on the liner.
9. 9 Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and pat or press it into an oval shape, flouring lightly as necessary. Cut the oval in half lengthwise into two equal portions.
10. 10 Shape fougasse: On one piece of dough, fold one end in over the center third, then fold the other end in over top. Dough should resemble a triangle. Transfer dough to the prepared pan. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
11. 11 Cover both triangles with an oiled piece of plastic wrap and let sit until dough warms up, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
12. 12 Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; generously sprinkle cornmeal on the parchment. Remove plastic from the dough.
13. 13 Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle some flour over top and use a rolling pin and your hands to stretch the triangle until it's ½- to ¾-inch thick. Sprinkle rosemary over top and press it into the dough. Transfer dough to one of the parchment-lined baking sheets.
14. 14 Use a pizza wheel to cut through the dough in a vertical line up the center of the triangle; do not cut through the top and bottom edges. Pull dough apart to spread open the cut.
15. 15 Make two more cuts at the top, one on each side from the center going out toward the edge, making sure you don't cut through the edges. Pull dough gently to spread it out. Make four more cuts, two in the middle, and two at the bottom, and pull dough apart. Make two more small cuts at the bottom. You will have one long cut in the center and 4 going down each side, so the fougasse will resemble a leaf. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let proof for 30 to 60 minutes.
16. 16 Repeat Steps 6 to 8 (above) to shape and proof the remaining dough.
17. 17 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from one fougasse. Brush olive oil over the entire surface and sprinkle with sea salt.
18. 18 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, about 20 minutes.
19. 19 Transfer to a rack to cool. Repeat Steps 11 and 12 (above) to bake remaining fougasse.
20. 20 Serve and enjoy.

Ingredients

• ✓ sea salt
• frisee lettuce
• shallot
• mustard
• black pepper
• sherry vinegar
• olive oil
• bacon
• egg
• cayenne pepper
• chive

Instructions

1. 1 Remove and discard the root ends from each head of frisee lettuce. Chop leaves into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a large salad spinner. Fill with cold water, swish well to remove any dirt and sand, then drain and spin until completely dry. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
2. 2 Whisk shallots, Dijon, salt, pepper, and sherry vinegar together in a large bowl until well combined. Add oil slowly, a little at a time, and continue whisking until dressing is thick and emulsified; set aside.
3. 3 Place bacon in a cold pan over medium heat; cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. 4 While the bacon is cooking, fill a pot with water. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of white vinegar and bring to a simmer.
5. 5 Place 1/4 of the chilled frisee in a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 of the cooked bacon (don't add too much bacon grease, but it's okay to have a little) along with a generous helping of the vinaigrette. Toss with tongs until frisee is thoroughly coated. Transfer to a salad plate or shallow bowl. Repeat to prep the remaining three salads.
6. 6 Drop eggs, one at a time, into the simmering water and let cook, without touching, for 20 to 30 seconds. Nudge them gently with a spoon to make sure they're not stuck on the bottom and continue to cook until whites are set and yolks are runny, 2 to 3 minutes more. Lift each poached egg carefully with a slotted spoon, drain well, and place carefully on a salad, flipping so the yolk is facing down.
7. 7 Sprinkle with cayenne, sea salt, and chives and serve.

Ingredients

• ✓ sea salt
• water
• active dry yeast
• white sugar
• bread flour
• salt
• butter
• butter
• bittersweet chocolate
• egg
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Place warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle with yeast. Let yeast dissolve for 10 minutes. Add sugar and bread flour. Sprinkle with salt; add 3 tablespoons butter. Attach the bowl to the stand mixer. Mix dough with the dough hook just until butter is completely kneaded in and the dough forms a ball and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl, 3 or 4 minutes.
2. 2 Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a semi-smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixer bowl; cover. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 2 hours.
3. 3 Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Push and press dough to deflate it, and form it into a rectangle. Fold into thirds by lifting one end over the middle third, and folding the other side onto the middle. Wrap in plastic wrap. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Refrigerate until chilled through, about 1 hour.
4. 4 Cut 1 stick of butter in 1/2 lengthwise and place halves slightly apart from each other on a length of parchment paper long enough to fold over the butter. Fold the parchment paper over the butter. Press butter down. Roll out with a rolling pin to a square about 8x8 inches. Refrigerate until a little chilled and just barely flexible, 10 or 15 minutes.
5. 5 Roll dough out into a rectangle slightly wider than the butter slab and just over twice as long. Place butter on one half of the dough leaving about 1 inch margin from the edge of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the butter. Dust work surface and dough with flour as needed.
6. 6 Press rolling pin down on dough to create ridges. Then roll out the ridges. Repeat this process. Keep pressing and rolling until dough is about the same size rectangle as you had before you folded it in half, dusting with just a bit of flour as necessary.
7. 7 Starting from the short side, fold one-third of dough over middle third. Then fold the other end over to form a small rectangle. Flatten out just slightly with rolling pin. Transfer to the silicone-lined baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
8. 8 Transfer dough back to work surface and repeat pressing and rolling technique until dough is the size of the previous larger rectangle. Fold into thirds again, starting from the short side. Press and roll slightly. Transfer back to lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate about 15 minutes.
9. 9 Roll back out to a large rectangle. This time, fold dough in half. Then press and roll out into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle, using as little flour as needed to keep dough from sticking.
10. 10 Dust dough with flour and roll out to a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough lengthwise into 6 pieces using a pastry wheel.
11. 11 Pull and stretch out 1 of the dough pieces until ends are slightly tapered. Line 1 to 2 tablespoon of chocolate 1 inch parallel to the bottom edge and an equal amount of chocolate 1 more inch ahead. Roll dough up over the chocolate toward the top short edge to form a croissant with the seam at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining 5 dough pieces.
12. 12 Place shaped croissants on baking sheets lined with silicone mats. Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water to make the egg wash. Brush croissants with a large portion of the egg wash. Place in a warm area to allow them to rise, 60 to 90 minutes.
13. 13 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush croissants gently but thoroughly again with egg wash. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
14. 14 Bake in preheated oven until beautifully browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

Ingredients

• ✓ sea salt
• dark chocolate
• corn nut

Instructions

1. 1 Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 2 minutes. I microwaved for a total of 90 seconds, but every microwave is different. Once the chocolate is almost totally melted (but you can see a few chunks of chocolate), stir continuously until smooth. Set aside to cool for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. 2 Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a work surface or baking sheet.
3. 3 Add the corn nuts to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly coated. Spoon clusters of the chocolate-corn nut mixture onto the parchment paper, about 1 heaping tablespoon each.
4. 4 Allow to set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once set, serve immediately or keep in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.
