Helsinki Buttermilk Rye (Sturenkadun Piimalimppu) Recipe - The Washington Post

  • Step 1

    In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the buttermilk with butter and warm the mixture to 100 degrees. Remove from the heat, add the beer; malt syrup, molasses or honey; and yeast and stir until combined. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flours, salt, spices, if using, and zest. With the mixer on low speed (No. 2 setting if using a KitchenAid mixer), mix together just until blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the buttermilk mixture and continue mixing until the ingredients are well hydrated, 3 to 4 minutes. Stop the mixer and switch to the dough hook, and continue mixing until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl, speeding up the mixer as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. (Rye flour is notoriously sticky. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all the flour is incorporated.)

  • Step 3

    Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plate and set aside on the counter until doubled in bulk, 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.

  • Step 4

    Generously flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Place two pieces of parchment paper large enough to hold half of the dough near your work space.

  • Step 5

    Transfer the dough to the floured counter and cut it in half – each piece should weigh about 850 grams. Shape each half into a round or oval loaf and set to rise on the prepared parchment pieces. Cover with plastic wrap or a well-floured kitchen towel, and let proof at room temperature until the first cracks appear on the surface of the loaves, 45 to 60 minutes. (Alternatively, if you’re using a pizza stone, you can flour a baker’s peel and let the loaves rise on it.)

  • Step 6

    While the loaves are proofing, position a rack in the middle of the oven, place a sheet pan (or pizza stone) on the rack and preheat to 390 degrees.

  • Step 7

    Dock the loaves thoroughly (just barely breaking the surface) with a fork, chopstick, or docking wheel, and brush with melted butter.

  • Step 8

    Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 340 degrees and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped with a finger and the internal temperature reaches at least 198 degrees. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing. This bread tastes best after 2 to 3 days.

    Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad Recipe - How to Make Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad - The Pioneer Woman

    Think of everything you love about a chicken Caesar salad—juicy chicken, crisp lettuce, crunchy croutons, shaved parmesan, creamy dressing—and add pasta! The only thing missing from the classic green salad is sweet, sweet carbs. This chicken Caesar pasta salad remedies that by combining the ultimate lunchtime superstar, pasta salad, with one of the most popular salads, Caesar salad. This dish will dominate any potluck and will give a salty kick to sweet barbecue dishes. 

    What kind of dressing goes into chicken Caesar pasta salad?

    This whisk-together Caesar dressing makes about 2 ½ cups and can be replaced with your favorite store-bought brand. However, this dressing is so easy and tasty, it’s totally worth making yourself! Instead of fiddling around with emulsifying raw eggs into oil, this Caesar dressing uses jarred mayonnaise as its base. A combination of garlic, anchovies (optional, but delicious!), capers, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and parmesan cheese supply those classic and savory Caesar flavors. Whisk in ¼ cup of whole milk to loosen up this thick dressing for optimal pasta coating.

    What kind of chicken goes into chicken Caesar pasta salad?

    This recipe calls for 3 cups of cubed, seared chicken breast. With all of the creamy dressing, light pasta, and golden croutons, it is nice to see deeply golden seared chicken peeking out of the salad. For quickly seared chicken, rub 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts with vegetable oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until deeply golden and the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. No time to sear chicken? Use leftover chicken or use the ultimate grocery store hack: a rotisserie chicken

    This Trinidadian Recipe Unites Three Generations of Mothers - The New York Times

    For one family, buljol carries many lessons from the past.

    Certain foods are too powerful to stay in the past.

    Buljol, named for the contorted patois of the French words brulé (burned) and gueule (mouth), is a dish of dried salted cod, and has followed my family through generations, well beyond my mother’s childhood in 1950s Trinidad.

    Every Friday night, my maternal grandmother, Elaine Cadet, whom everyone called Teacher, would make a sauté using the flaked meat of boiled salted cod (or saltfish, as it’s most commonly called in the Caribbean).



    She would zap it with a bevy of bright, grassy herbs, such as scallions and chadon beni (culantro), punchy aromatics, ripe sweet tomatoes, Scotch bonnet peppers and an assertive spray of fresh lime juice. It was always served — to her husband and five children — with coconut bake, a dense, sweetly scented unleavened bread made from the milk, oil and fresh pulp of the coconut.

    My mother, Anne Marie Ransome, taught me to make the dish in almost exactly the same manner, the only change being the inclusion of extra-virgin olive oil. And, now, from my home in Raleigh, N.C., I am carefully introducing my mother’s and grandmother’s recipe to my 6-year-old daughter, Noelle.

    Coconut oil, coconut milk and shredded coconut come together in coconut bake, a popular bread in Trinidad and Tobago.Ryan Liebe for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne.

    As a child and teen on the island, I often witnessed my mother’s delight in preparing the dish, a happiness rooted in memories of those Friday night dinners. But those moments of joy were brushed with pain, as I got a sense of the violent history that brought this saltfish to the table in front of me, one I would never wish repeated.

    Salted cod bridges centuries and cultures. A protein-rich, shelf-stable commodity, it found its way into many cuisines and became a no-frills feature of the diet of enslaved people.

    From the 16th to 19th centuries, plantation owners, unwilling to cede any land earmarked for sugar cane cultivation to grow crops for enslaved Africans, looked to abundantly cheap dried salted cod. After emancipation in Trinidad and Tobago, in 1838, saltfish continued to be a dietary staple for formerly enslaved people, becoming part of their lifestyle and eventual legacy. It remains an essential ingredient that reveals part of the islands’ histories, while also offering a redemptive arc.

    Noelle doesn’t quite get it. And understandably so.

    In her childlike assessment, saltfish looks like something that “came from the Halloween store.” I chuckle, but, as gently as I can, remind her that engaging with these formative Trinidadian foods demands more because it delivers more. I’m hoping that, by looking past the appearance of saltfish, she will come to understand herself within a greater context: the culture that carried the matriarchs before her — and learn, as I learned from my mother, that she can never forge a whole identity by overlooking any one of her parts.

    Bake and buljol is a part of Trinidad, so it’s part of me.

    And part of her, too.

    As I knead the textured dough for coconut bake and the saltfish bubbles on the stovetop, I suspect that she perceives the recipe’s power, how it preserves the past and immortalizes my granny, of whom only a few sepia-toned photographs remain. In making these dishes we are breathing back to life a part of the past and a people once devoured by loss. And death loses its sting. This food of incalculable worth makes us students of its history, while collapsing the gulf across four generations of Caribbean and American women.
