In a medium saucepan, heat milk and 1⁄2 cup (120 grams) water over medium heat to scalding. (An instant-read thermometer should register 180°F/82°C.) Remove from heat, and add cubed butter; stir occasionally until butter is melted and an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C).In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 2 cups (250 grams) flour, sugar, salt, and yeast at low speed until combined. Add warm milk mixture, and beat until combined. Add 1 egg (50 grams), beating until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 cups (250 grams) flour, beating just until a shaggy dough comes together, stopping to scrape sides of bowl.Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, about 24 minutes, stopping to scrape bottom and sides of bowl and dough hook; add up to remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. Turn out dough onto a clean surface; knead 5 to 6 times, and shape into a smooth round.Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, about 1 hour. LEGGI TUTTO

NO NEED TO KNEAD
The traditional practice of kneading is replaced with a simple folding technique in focaccia dough
Oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) for 1½ hours, folding dough in bowl every 30 minutes. As the name implies, a high-hydration dough is relatively wet, so before folding, wet or oil your hands to prevent sticking. Reach under one side of dough, and gently stretch the edge of the dough as high as you can without tearing. Once you reach the top, fold the dough over the center. This motion strengthens the gluten network and is the preferred method to build elasticity for doughs that have high hydration levels. Repeat three more times around bowl to complete one round of folding. Fold the dough in the bowl every 30 minutes for a total of 1½ hours. By the last fold, you should notice the dough has become smooth and elastic. LEGGI TUTTO

Strain strawberries and juices through a fine-mesh sieve set over a small saucepan. Let strawberries cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into ¼-inch pieces. Transfer any additional berry juices to saucepan.In a medium bowl, stir together chopped strawberries, ¼ cup (57 grams) melted butter, and vanilla bean paste.In a small bowl, place ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (124 grams) granulated sugar.Add 3 tablespoons (45 grams) water, remaining ¼ cup (57 grams) melted butter, and remaining ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar to juice in saucepan.Lightly punch down dough. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with baking spray with flour.Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide in half (about 495 grams each). Roll each portion into a 30-inch rope. Cut each rope into 1-inch-long pieces (about 16 grams each). Working in batches, dip dough pieces in strawberry mixture; dredge in granulated sugar, gently shaking off excess. Place dough pieces in pan in even layers. Pour remaining strawberry mixture all over dough. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, 30 to 45 minutes.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).Bring juice mixture in saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted and sugar dissolves; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour all over dough.Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 30 to 35 minutes, loosely covering with foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.For glaze: In another medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Drizzle all over warm bread. Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. LEGGI TUTTO
1. In a 4- to 6-quart cast-iron Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°F (185°C). Line several rimmed baking sheets with paper towels.Before you fry, you need to have your oil prepped and ready. That means having it poured to a depth of 2 inches in your pot and at the temperature called for in the recipe (365°F/185°C in the case of our yeasted doughnuts).
2. Using parchment paper to pick up doughnut holes, transfer doughnut holes in batches to hot oil, letting holes gently fall off parchment into oil. (Do not place parchment in oil.) Fry in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Using a spider strainer, remove doughnut holes, and let drain on prepared pans.Using parchment helps you easily and safely transfer and lower dough into the hot oil. Bubbles should immediately begin forming around the dough; if not, check the oil’s temperature to ensure it’s hot enough.
3. Using parchment paper to pick up doughnuts, transfer doughnuts in batches to hot oil, letting doughnuts gently fall off parchment into oil. (Do not place parchment paper in oil.) Fry doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Using a spider strainer, remove doughnuts, and let drain on prepared pans. Fill and glaze as desired. Best served same day.
While frying, it’s important not to overcrowd the pot, or it’ll reduce the temperature of the oil. In a minute, you’ll turn them to reveal a golden underside. When a yeasted doughnut is fried, it should have a pale ring around its center, known as the “proof line.” This happens because air inside the dough makes the doughnut float just above its midpoint. As a result, the top and bottom fry in the oil while a ring around the middle stays just above the oil level. Once the doughnuts have been turned and fried until golden, you’ll want to transfer them to the prepared pans to cool immediately. LEGGI TUTTO
The large, open crumb that’s characteristic of ciabatta bread comes from a high hydration level in the dough as well as a poolish, which is a type of preferment (a fermentation starter or, sometimes, a “mother dough”) that gives bread a slightly nutty flavor and thin crust. Pile these rolls high with salami, provolone, and other Italian ingredients for perfect panini! LEGGI TUTTO
