Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk together milk, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand, covered with a kitchen towel, until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Sift flour into milk mixture. Add oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt; stir with a rubber spatula until mixture is well combined and a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a work surface and shape into a ball; knead until smooth and soft but slightly sticky, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Shape dough into a ball and lightly brush with oil; transfer to a large bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm (70 to 80 degrees F (21 to 26 degrees C)) place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  4. 4 Stir together mozzarella and ricotta in a small bowl. Season with remaining pinch of salt; stir to combine.
  5. 5 Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a 5x8-inch oval, about 1/4 inch thick, on a lightly floured work surface. Spread about 1/4 cup cheese mixture over each oval, leaving a 11/2-inch border uncovered. Fold the long edges of each oval inward to meet at the center and pinch the seam together tightly to seal in cheese mixture. Turn dough over, so the seam side is down. Use a small, sharp knife to make a shallow lengthwise slit down the center of the top layer of dough, stopping within 1 inch of each end. Use your fingers to roll each long edge away from the slit and tuck it under to create a rolled border, sealing in some of the cheese mixture.
  6. 6 Evenly divide and spread remaining cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup each) in the centers of each flatbread, lightly pressing into dough. Arrange flatbreads 2 to 3 inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel in a warm place (70° to 80°F) until slightly puffed, 25 to 30 minutes.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  8. 8 Bake, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until edges are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Use a spoon to make a well in the center of the filling in each flatbread. Put an egg yolk in each well. Bake until yolks are thickened but still runny, 30 to 40 seconds more.
  9. 9 Transfer flatbreads to a serving platter. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Stir yolks into melted cheese. Serve hot.

  2. 2 Mix a little flour at a time into yeast mixture until no flour remains. Add butter, sugar, and salt; knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 Grease a baking sheet with butter. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle.
  4. 4 Make the filling: Place ground poppy seeds into a bowl. Pour hot milk over top, then add sugar, raisins, honey, vanilla sugar, lemon zest, and rum. Stir until well combined.
  5. 5 Spread filling over dough. Start at a longer edge, and roll dough up and over filling into a log; press the seam together with your fingers to seal. Place the log, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.

  1. 1 Whisk together warm milk, 1/2 cup sugar, warm water, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over the top and set aside for 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Once yeast is foamy, stir in flour, adding more as needed to form a stiff dough. When dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl; set aside.
  4. 4 Deflate dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 9x13-inch rectangle and brush with 1/2 cup melted butter. Sprinkle with cardamom-sugar mixture, raisins, and walnuts. Roll into a log, pinch the edges closed, and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of the roll with V-shapes that don't quite meet in the middle, the whole length of the roll. This will give the bread an attractive braided appearance, but can be skipped.
  7. 7 Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until well combined; brush over the top of bread. Sprinkle with almonds and pearl sugar.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place four 10-ounce jars in a slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water up to 1/3 inch of the jar rims. Remove the jars and set aside.
  2. 2 Cover the slow cooker and preheat on High for about 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, pour milk and milk powder into a saucepan and whisk to dissolve. Heat over medium heat until just steaming and a thermometer reads 179 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place the bottom of the pan into a bowl of ice water. Cool milk mixture until the temperature drops to 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). Lift the pan out of the ice water.
  4. 4 Measure about 1 cup milk mixture and pour into a bowl. Stir in yogurt until thoroughly blended. Return yogurt mixture to milk mixture in the pan. Pour milk-yogurt mixture into the 4 glass jars, filling up to 1/2 inch of the rims.
  5. 5 Check that the water temperature in the slow cooker is no higher than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). If it is cooler, cover and allow to come to temperature. If it is too hot, uncover and turn off the slow cooker.
  6. 6 Set filled jars in the warm water; the water level should be up to the level of yogurt in the jars. Cover with a folded dish towel and then with the slow cooker lid.
  7. 7 Turn slow cooker off. Allow to set for 6 hours, keeping the water at 114 degrees F (46 degrees C) as best you can. Check the temperature with your thermometer after about 2 hours, taking care not to disturb yogurt. If lower than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C), turn the slow cooker to Warm for 10 minutes, then shut off again. Check temperature again at the 4-hour mark and repeat. Do not stir or poke yogurt at all during this time.
  8. 8 Check yogurt after 6 hours by pressing gently on the top or tipping the jars to see if it is set; it is done when yogurt is firm and there is a thin layer of yellowish liquid on the top.
  9. 9 Remove the jars from water and dry them off. Top with clean lids and place in the refrigerator.

  1. 1 Line a mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a deep bowl or pot.
  2. 2 Combine milk, cream, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally in a "figure eight" motion, until it reaches a temperature of 195 degrees F (90 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer, this will be right before it starts to simmer. You'll see steam rising from the surface, and tiny bubbles forming around the edges of the pan.
  3. 3 Turn off the heat, pour in the vinegar, and stir slowly in a "figure eight" motion for 3 or 4 seconds.
  4. 4 Let the mixture sit, untouched, for 6 minutes.
  5. 5 Carefully ladle into the cheesecloth-lined mesh strainer so that the dripping whey drains into the pot or bowl. Let the ricotta drain into the pot for between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on how soft or firm you want your cheese. The longer it drains, the firmer the texture will be once chilled.
  6. 6 Grab the ends of the cheesecloth and lift the drained ricotta out of the strainer and place in a bowl. Let cool on the counter to room temperature, then wrap and chill thoroughly.
  7. 7 Remove cheesecloth and serve. Ricotta usually needs an additional pinch of salt when serving.
