• pearl sugar
• water
• egg
• panettone form
• butter
• salt
• white sugar
• bread flour
• egg
• saffron
• milk
• candied lemon peel
• candied orange peel
• cointreau
• raisin
• water
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare the sponge the night before you mix the dough: Mix 1.5 cups all-purpose flour with 1/8 teaspoon yeast in a bowl. Add 2/3 cup cool water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sponge stand at room temperature 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Toss raisins with Cointreau in a bowl. Mix orange and lemon peel in with raisins and add an extra tablespoon of Cointreau and let them soften, if they are on the hard side. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 8 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Pour milk into a saucepan and crumble in saffron threads; heat just to a simmer. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer, taking care to get all of the saffron bits into the bowl. Let cool to just barely warm (110 degrees F) or room temperature.
4. 4 Transfer sponge to a mixing bowl, breaking up slightly with a spoon. Mix in eggs, stirring a few times by hand. Add 2 1/3 cups bread flour, sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, and salt. Mix with the paddle attachment on low speed for about 5 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl occasionally; the dough will be very loose.
5. 5 Switch to the dough hook attachment and increase speed to medium. Add butter, one piece at a time, mixing until each piece is fully incorporated. Increase to high speed for 1 minute if the mixer can handle it; the dough should be climbing the dough hook and starting to clear the sides of the bowl. Add soaked raisins, orange peel, and lemon peel. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes; the fruit may not be fully dispersed.
6. 6 Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Flop the dough over itself a couple of times (it's a little too wet to fold), cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rise for 60 minutes.
7. 7 Fold dough a few times to release gas and mix in fruit. Cover again with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
8. 8 Turn the dough onto a floured work space. Divide in half and shape into 2 balls. Place each ball seam-side down in a 6" paper panettone form and set on a baking sheet. Beat egg with water, and brush egg wash onto each loaf. Cover panettone forms loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 90 minutes.
9. 9 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
10. 10 Brush loaves with egg wash again and sprinkle pearl sugar on top.
11. 11 Place baking sheet in the hot oven, immediately reducing the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
12. 12 Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until a tester inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 20 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

• ✓ instant yeast
• water
• whole wheat flour
• water
• bread flour
• salt
• cornmeal

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.
9. 9 Immediately place scored loaves in the preheated oven; bake until loaves are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool loaves on wire racks.

Instructions

1. 1 Combine milk, warm water, honey, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Add oil, pumpkin puree, flour, and salt in the order listed. Mix until a soft, smooth, and tacky dough forms. Adjust flour and water amounts if dough is too sticky.
3. 3 Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for a few minutes. Form dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
4. 4 Divide dough into 2 balls and lightly flour each. Return 1 ball to the covered bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Roll the remaining ball into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the Colby-Jack cheese evenly over the surface. Roll dough up from the short side like a jelly roll and pinch seams to seal.
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.

Ingredients

• ✓ instant yeast
• masa harina
• water
• bread flour
• vital wheat gluten
• sugar
• salt
• milk
• lard
• butter

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.

Ingredients

• ✓ instant yeast
• sugar
• water
• milk
• butter
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• raisin

Instructions

1. 1 In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Add butter and stir until melted; let cool until lukewarm.
3. 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast mixture with cooled milk mixture. Add egg, 2 cups flour, and salt; beat well to combine. Add remaining 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. Cover dough and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. 4 Divide dough into seven pieces: one round 2 inches in diameter, five rounds 1 inch in diameter, and the remainder in one large round.
5. 5 Place the large round on a lightly greased cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Shape four of the 1-inch rounds into 'feet' and one into a 'tail' for the turtle. Shape the 2-inch round into a 'head' for the turtle. Attach each piece by flattening the end which attaches to the body, wetting it slightly with water, and pinching it under the turtle's 'body.' Press raisins into the turtle's head for 'eyes.' Cover the turtle with a damp cloth and let rise for 20 minutes.
6. 6 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
7. 7 Use a sharp knife to make crisscross cuts in the turtle's body to make the 'shell,' then use scissors to cut the turtle's mouth.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
