We like a puffed-up, pillowy pizza crust with a charred surface and a tender, chewy crumb. A combination of fine-milled, low-gluten 00 Italian flour mixed with a higher-protein bread flour helps achieve this result. The dough is mixed and allowed to rise in bulk, and is coated with olive oil while being turned at 30-minute…
I’ll admit it: I have never been served breakfast in bed. My husband has cooked breakfast for me while I’m still in bed (pretending to still be asleep so I don’t spoil his surprise — honestly, who can stay sleeping with the smell of coffee and pancakes wafting into the room?). But as someone prone…
Dawn Lerman’s sweet potato hummus is an easy homemade replacement for store-bought hummus. I recently picked up the memoir by New York Times Well blogger Dawn Lerman and was immediately intrigued.

Mushroom stock is a versatile staple to keep on hand — its deep, rich flavor and color make it a great substitute for beef stock. We save the scraps of vegetables from the soup — peels, ends and stems — to fortify the stock, so nothing goes to waste. If you have it, you can…
Dates, one of the seven species traditionally eaten on Tu B’Shvat, are represented in Deuteronomy (8:7-8) by their honey, called devash in Hebrew. Authentic biblical honey is as dark and thick as molasses, but it has its own rich flavor and isn’t quite as sweet as regular honey. You can buy it already prepared as…
