Once you've successfully created your own sourdough starter, you'll need to feed it regularly. If you bake a lot of sourdough treats, you may want to keep it on your counter, at room temperature. While this means feeding it twice a day, it also means your starter will be ready to bake when you are. If you're a more casual sourdough baker, store your starter in the refrigerator, feeding it just once a week.

This tortilla is wafer-thin and pliable, like any standard tortilla. However, it falls off the classic track by including both flour and cornmeal, something a "real" tortilla would never do. We just happen to love the faint sweetness of cornmeal paired with flour's soft texture — so there!

Thin Cornmeal Tortillas

(156 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

(78 grams) yellow cornmeal

(50 grams) corn oil or vegetable oil

This dough-like stiff starter has double the amount of flour as the typical liquid starter, which is equal parts water and flour. Use it in our recipe for Artisan Sourdough Bread.

Pierogi, boiled dumplings, are very flexible and can be stuffed with a number of savory or sweet fillings, including potato and cheese (below); sauerkraut, cabbage, spiced meats, and even fruits and berries. Because pierogi freeze well, they make quick, satisfying last-minute meals. There are as many versions of pierogi as there are cooks who love them, and our take on this traditional treat mirrors many American pierogi recipes.

We love the way candied cherries enhance some of our favorite holiday baked goods, from fruitcake to sweet breads to cookies. When we discovered just how easy it was to make these little jeweled cherries ourselves, we immediately decided to share this recipe with all our fellow bakers. We think these taste much fresher than anything you'll buy at the supermarket.

Self-rising flour is flour with the baking powder and a bit of salt already added. It's a staple in many Southern recipes; it's traditionally made from a softer, lower protein version of all-purpose flour, which is what grows there. This version, which uses higher-protein all-purpose flour, can be used in any recipe that calls for self-rising flour; be prepared to increase the liquid in the recipe somewhat, and expect the results to be a bit less tender.

Dumplings are a wonderful addition to any simmering soup or stew. Not only do they add substance in the form of delicious, tender mounds of steam-softened bread, but some of the starch from their flour also seeps into the broth beneath as they cook, thickening it nicely.

Savory Dumplings

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and oozing sticky syrup with every bite, jalebi are a wildly popular South Asian street food.

Latkes, those salty/crunchy/smooth potato pancakes fried in oil, are a Hanukkah staple. But to stand and fry them just 2 or 3 at once means time spent away from the holiday table. Thus these oven-fried latkes. Just flood a couple of rimmed cookie sheets with a thin layer of oil, deposit potato pancake batter, and bake for about 30 minutes, turning once. The result? Signature crunchy-smooth latkes, and more time spent with your family.

Traditional to Mexico, champurrado is a warm, thick chocolate beverage (the chocolate version of atole) popularly enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. It’s sweetened and flavored with staple Mexican pantry ingredients – piloncillo, stone-ground chocolate, and Ceylon cinnamon – and thickened with masa harina. This version from the founder and lead baker at <a href="https://gustobread.com/">Gusto Bread</a>, Arturo Enciso, can be made with water (for a vegan option), or with milk for a little more body. Either way, it's the perfect complement to <a href="https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/conchas-de-maiz-recipe">Conchas de Maíz</a>.

Making your own granola is simple to do: stir together the grains, oil, and sweeteners of your choice and give them a long, slow bake in the oven. Once everything is nicely crisp, cool and then finish with your favorite add-ins. This combination is a cheery and nutritious way to start the day; try it spooned over ricotta for a rich change from the usual yogurt.

These soft, tender cakes are a cross between a pancake and a baking powder biscuit, with elements of cookies and muffins thrown in for good measure. Sturdy enough to be eaten out of hand, they can be served plain; sprinkled with sugar (or cinnamon sugar, our favorite); or spread with butter, and gilded with sugar or jam. In addition, they're excellent the next day, warmed in the toaster as you'd warm toaster cakes. 
Native to Wales, as their name suggests, our version of these griddle cakes is slightly sweeter than the original, but in all other respects a fairly close match. Welsh Cakes are the perfect breakfast on the feast day of their native country's patron saint, St. David — celebrated each year on March 1.

This fresh fruit dessert uses only the simplest ingredients, and the most basic techniques — it's a natural for summer, when you want the most bang for your energy buck! Dark sweet cherries are the traditional fruit used to make this rustic French tart, but if you're not up to pitting a bag of cherries, feel free to use about 3 cups berries, or bite-sized pieces of the fruit of your choice: peaches or nectarines are particularly nice at this time of year.

Whether or not you have a vegetarian dog, these non-meat biscuits will be snapped up — literally!

Sooji ka halwa, also known as seero, is an Indian semolina pudding with a soft, buttery texture, similar to that of farina or polenta, and a nutty flavor that comes from toasting the wheat in ghee.

But it’s also quick and easy enough to whip up for a comforting breakfast accompaniment or a simple dessert.
