Greetings from San Francisco ๐๐ฅ Plus: 10 Highlights From the Road
|
Friends, hello! Good morning from San Francisco. I've been on the road for five days now, and in addition to meeting some of you in person, which has been a blast, I've been eating very well: mostly pizza but also burritos and chilaquiles. I'm about to join the queue at Tartine Bakery, and I'm so looking forward to a slice of quiche โ or a morning bun? or bread pudding? or croque monsieur? How will I ever decide? I will report back next week. In the meantime, here are 10 culinary (and beyond) highlights from the road. 1. Bean & Cheese Burrito from Sonoratown in Los Angeles. The tortillas were so good, and the salsas were so fresh! Delicious horchata, too. 2. A corner slice of Apollonia's square pepperoni pie topped with burrata and honey out of the oven. 3. Meeting such wonderful people at Now Serving in Los Angeles. Incidentally, Now Serving has signed copies of both Pizza Night and Bread Toast Crumbs, and they ship everywhere including internationally ๐ 4. Spending Friday evening in Berkeley at Rose Pizzeria, which served three pizzas and three salads from Pizza Nightโ. They did such a beautiful job, and it was so much fun seeing the recipes from the book out in the wild. Pictured at the very top of the newsletter is the White Pizza with Pistachios, Honey, and Arugula, and here's the Snap Pea and Radish Salad: 5. The Asparagus Pizza with Creme Fraiche and Whipped Ricotta: 6. The cover pie ๐๐๐ Calabrian Chilies, Soppressata, Red Onion 7. Kale Salad with Sunflower Seeds, Dates, and Carrots. 8. Last one from Pizza Night: Arugula and Prosciutto Salad 9. The Primavera chilaquiles at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market (as delicious as ever!) 10. The pizza, pasta, salad, budino, and everything else at Flour + Water... heaven. OK Friends, off to Tartine I go! Hope you're having a great weekend. In Case You Missed ItIf you pre-ordered Pizza Night and didn't get your bonus recipe booklet, simply reply to this email with a screenshot of your order. I'll send along the link to the recipes as well as to the video of the class recording. The bonus recipe packet includes:
The dressing recipe and salad are inspired by a salad I had at Ops in Brooklyn: Thank YouThank you to all who have ordered Pizza Night.

Friends, at last, the morning buns are here โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ This week, I ran two experiments. Up first: assembling the pan of buns, storing them in the fridge, and baking them in the morning. The result? Success! โ You do still have to remove the pan from the fridge at least 3 hours before you plan to serve them to allow them to fully proof and bake, but you could always remove the pan, then return to bed. Second, I sped up the timeline: On Thursday night, I mixed the dough, chilled it for 1 hour,...
Friends, good morning. It's shaping up to be a beautiful sunny Saturday, and I am so looking forward to it. โ๏ธ Let's get down to business. This week, the morning bun experiments continued, but before I post the recipe, I need to make one more batch, mostly to figure out how to actually make the buns so they emerge in the morning. I don't think it will be hard, but right now, they may as well be called evening buns. This week, I also finally updated this simple sourdough bread recipe, which...
Friends, good morning from Long Island (again!) โ๏ธ I hope you all had a week as glorious weather-wise as we did here in Upstate New Yorkโbright blue skies every day, crisp mornings, warm, sunny afternoons, the most perfect walking weather... I'm dreading the season's end. This week, I made progress on both the morning buns (above) and the chocolate croissants (below) using this cheater's croissant dough recipe. The overall feedback from the family on the chocolate croissants? Too much...
