These are the best and easiest brioche buns you will ever make — the no-knead dough seriously comes together in 10 minutes (or less!), and the buns can be ready to shape in 2-3 hours. You also can let the dough rise overnight in the fridge, if that timing works out better for you. Look no further — these brioche buns are it! #buns #bread #brioche #memorialday #julyfourth

Notes: Overripe bananas freeze beautifully — just peel them and place them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When you're ready to use them, place them in a colander in the sink to drain — they'll give up a lot of liquid and look totally repulsive, but they work beautifully. To make homemade buttermilk: place 2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup. Fill cup with milk until it reaches the 1/2-cup line. Let stand for five minutes.

Adapted from the King Arthur Flour Cookbook After attending a King Arthur Flour baking tour last fall, my friend Katie posted detailed notes on what she learned along with the recipe for Walter Sands’ Basic White (or Whole Wheat) Bread. She also explains how to do a “head-and-shoulders” shaping technique, which helps prevent air pockets from forming in the finished loaves.

This is the pie dough recipe I use for every tart, pie, galette I make. In this recipe and video, I show how to make the pie dough as well as how to parbake and blind bake it. Parbaking is a step that ensures the bottom crust of your pie will not be soggy. Here are a few recipes that benefit from a parbaked crust: Bourbon Pecan Pie Roasted Butternut Squash Pie (i.e. The Best Pumpkin Pie) Salted Maple Pie Notes: Ideally make your dough 12 to 24 hours before you plan to roll it out. Doing so…

This chickpea curry is an adaptation of this chicken curry recipe I learned to make while working at Fork in Philadelphia many years ago. In place of 8 bone-in chicken thighs, I've swapped in two cans of drained chickpeas. A few notes: I have only ever made this recipe with canned chickpeas, but if you wish to cook the chickpeas from scratch, here are two methods I love: Simple Slow Cooker Chickpeas (I make these often) and How to Cook Chickpeas From Scratch. Thai red curry paste. Maesri…
