Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• milk
• sugar
• butter
• egg
• salt
• all-purpose flour
• butter
• cabbage
• egg
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Place 1/2 cup milk in a cup or small bowl. Stir in sugar and sprinkle yeast over the top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Pour the remaining milk into a large bowl.
2. 2 Add the melted butter, egg, salt and 1 cup of flour to the large bowl with the milk. Stir in the yeast mixture. Mix in flour 1 cup at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and doesn't stick to your hands. Cover the bowl loosely and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour. Dough should almost triple in size.
3. 3 While you wait for the dough to rise, melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage has wilted. Mix in the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. Set this aside for the filling.
4. 4 Place the risen dough onto a floured surface and gently form into a long snake about 2 inches wide. Cut into 1 inch pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten the balls by hand until they are 4 to 5 inches across. Place a spoonful of the cabbage filling in the center and fold in half to enclose. Pinch the edges together to seal in the filling.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line one or two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place the pirozhki onto the baking sheet, leaving room between them for them to grow.
6. 6 Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• salt
• bread flour

Instructions

1. 1 Place yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk to mix. Add flour and salt.
2. 2 Knead with dough hook until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough ball and easily pulls away from the sides and the hook, about 5 minutes. (If still too sticky, add a bit more flour and knead a few more seconds.) Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dough and sides of bowl a few drops of vegetable oil. Spread a film of oil over the surface of the dough.
3. 3 Cover the bowl and transfer to a warm, draft-free place until dough is doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
4. 4 Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Form into a rectangle shape and cut into 6 equal pieces. Using your cupped hand and the work surface, roll each section of dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and let rest 15 minutes.
5. 5 Flatten dough balls into 6- or 7-inch long ovals. Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a cylinder, applying extra pressure to the ends to form pointy tips for a classic French roll shape. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (do not crowd them) and cover with clean dry towels until doubled, about 1 hour.
6. 6 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
7. 7 With a very sharp knife, score each roll about 1/4 inch deep along one side somewhere between the side and the top. Spritz loaves lightly with water from a spray bottle.
8. 8 Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes. Spritz loaves again and rotate pans for a more even bake. Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely before cutting.

Instructions

1. 1 Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a mixing bowl and allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 cups of flour, salt, and shortening; beat for 2 minutes with a fork. Stir in as much of the remaining 1 1/2 cup flour as needed.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, kneading in more flour if dough is sticky. Form into a ball, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest in a warm area for 15 minutes.
3. 3 Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
4. 4 Divide dough into 12 equal portions; flour your hands and roll each piece into a ball. Cover dough balls with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Flatten the balls into rounds on a floured surface, cover with kitchen towel, and let rest 10 more minutes. Gently roll each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter on a floured surface. Place pita breads in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.
5. 5 Bake in preheated oven until the pita breads puff up, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip breads over with a spatula, return to oven, and bake 2 more minutes. Let cool on wire racks before cutting pita breads in half and gently separating tops and bottoms to form pockets for filling.

• pineapple
• olive oil
• prosciutto
• tarragon
• black pepper
• sea salt

Instructions

1. 1 To make the dough, combine warm water, 1/2 cup of flour, and yeast to a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix everything into a smooth batter. Cover bowl with a towel and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Add olive oil, salt, and remaining flour to the bowl, and stir with a spoon or fork until the mixture comes together to form a shaggy ball of dough.
3. 3 Transfer everything to a work surface and knead until the dough just starts to become elastic, about 2 minutes.
4. 4 Place dough in a lightly oiled zip-top bag. Press out most of the air, seal, and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
5. 5 The next day, take the bag of dough out of the fridge, and leave out at room temperature until it roughly doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
6. 6 Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and ashy. Quarter your peeled and cored pineapple and trim out the tough, fibrous core in the center.
7. 7 Grill pineapple round-side down over hot coals until heated through, and fairly well charred, about 3 minutes; flip and continue to grill on the cored side until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve until needed.
8. 8 Once dough has doubled, remove from bag and divide into 4 portions. Form each portion into a ball and use a rolling pin to roll dough into an oval, or circle about an 1/8-inch thick.
9. 9 Place dough over hot coals, and grill until dough is cooked through, and about half the surface area is slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
10. 10 Remove from grill and top each warm flatbread with a drizzle of olive oil. Top with prosciutto, thin slices of grilled pineapple, tarragon leaves, and freshly ground black pepper. Finish with another small drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
