3. Put the dough in a lightly floured plastic food storage bag with the air
squeezed out, or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let rise in a draft-free
warm place until it has doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Buttery Dinner Rolls
The perfect complement to any dinner. After your first bite, you will never go
back to store-bought rolls again.
4. Lightly butter an 8 or 9-inch round baking pan. Divide the dough into 12
equal pieces, about 2¼ ounces each. Roll into smooth rounds and arrange in
the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until about doubled in
size, about 30 to 40 minutes.

¾

1. Put the milk and water in a small saucepan set over medium heat.* Bring to
105°–110°F. Remove from heat and add the sugar and yeast. Stir to dissolve
and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add beaten egg; stir to combine.
Transfer to a large measuring cup to make it easier to add to the food
processor.
2. Insert the dough blade into the food processor. Add the flour, butter and salt
and process on the dough speed until combined, about 15 to 20 seconds.
With the machine running on the dough speed, slowly pour the yeast mixture
through the feed tube, adding only as fast as the flour absorbs it (you may
not need all of the liquid mixture). After the dough forms a ball, process for
45 seconds to knead. Dough should be smooth and elastic. If dough is too
wet, sprinkle a tablespoon of additional bread flour over the dough and pulse
to combine, adding more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a tender dough is
achieved.

3. While squash is baking, make the couscous filling: Put remaining olive oil in
a sauté pan set over medium/medium-low heat. Once hot, add the shallot
with a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Sauté until softened. Add the
couscous, cumin, cinnamon and remaining salt and pepper. Sauté for about
1 minute to toast couscous. After 1 minute, add the broth. Bring to a strong
simmer and cook partially covered for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook until liquid is almost completely absorbed by the couscous. Remove
pan from heat, add apricots and pistachios and mix to combine. Cover and
set aside until squash is baked.

1. Lightly coat a 9-inch square or round baking pan with cooking spray;
reserve.
2. Cook macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain pasta and rinse
under cold water. Toss with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking; reserve.
3. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Once
melted, stir in the flour until smooth. Continue to cook, constantly stirring,
for about 2 minutes to cook the flour. While whisking, slowly add the milk to
the butter/flour mixture. Raise the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a boil,
while stirring. Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a
simmer, stirring so a film does not form on the bottom of the pot. Cook until
the mixture becomes very thick, about 30 to 45 minutes. Once thickened,
stir in the shredded cheeses until sauce is smooth. Add the salt, hot sauce
and then the macaroni, stirring to combine. Finally, stir in 1 cup of the
croutons, and remove from heat.

the sugar. Mix until light and thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add vanilla;
beat until well combined.
4. Stir the flour and salt into the cooled chocolate mixture; mix until just
incorporated. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until
the mixture is no longer streaky.

fall fruit Cobbler
1. Preheat the Toaster Oven set to Bake at 325°F with the rack in position A.
Lightly and evenly coat a 9-inch round or square pan with cooking spray.
Add a dollop of freshly whipped cream to top off this delicious autumn treat.
2. Prepare the filling: Put the cut fruit in a large mixing bowl with the sugar,
flour, cinnamon, zest and salt. Mix ingredients very well. Pour into prepared
pan. Bake for 20 minutes (you want the fruit to be able to be pierced easily
with the tip of a paring knife, but not mushy).
Makes 8 to 10 servings
filling:
nonstick cooking spray
3. While the filling is baking, prepare the topping: Put the flour, sugar, baking
powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and orange zest in the bowl of a food
processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Process dry ingredients for
10 seconds. Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients and pulse until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a
liquid measuring cup. While pulsing, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to
the dry ingredients through the feed tube. Pulse until just combined. (This
process can also be done by hand. Put all dry ingredients into a large mixing
bowl, or on a parchment-lined work surface. Add the butter and either using
your fingers or a pastry blender, combine until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Make a well in the dry/butter mixture and add the buttermilk/vanilla.
Mix with hands or the pastry blender until just combined.)
