Ever wanted to know the tricks to scoring and shaping bread dough? Here they are.

How to score and shape bread dough

bread dough

To score bread dough, use a small, sharp knife, razor blade, or bread lame to slash a proofed and shaped bread. Scoring will help the bread expand where you want it to, instead of bursting at the seams. Bake scored bread straight after scoring.

To shape bread dough, you have many options. Knead before using the edges of your hands to form the dough into a ball. Then fold the dough into itself and form into a long loaf shape for a loaf pan. Cover and let rise before scoring, if desired, and baking.

Shaping wheat stalks is easy. Shape long baguettes, then use scissors to cut angular sections. Push them alternately left and right to make the wheat stalk effect and bake right away. Enjoy!

Biang biang mian is a spicy noodle dish from China's Shaanxi Province. Packed with heat and fervor, try not to spoon the homemade chili oil over everything.

Biang biang mian (Chinese spicy noodles)

soy sauce

garlic (grated)

peanut oil

chili flakes

sesame seeds

star anise

tsp coriander

tsp cumin

tbsp Sichuan pepper powder

light brown sugar

Sichuan peppercorns

cinnamon

rice vinegar

flour

bok choy

To prepare the chili oil, add soy sauce and grated garlic to a small bowl, mix, and set aside. Add oil, chili flakes, sesame seeds, star anise, bay leaves, coriander powder, and cumin powder to a wok. Heat over medium heat until it sizzles, then turn to low heat and stir constantly for 3 - 4 min., or until chili flakes turn dark brown without burning.

Remove the wok from heat and add Sichuan pepper powder, stirring to combine. Then carefully add garlic and soy sauce to the wok. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and let cool. Remove bay leaves and star anise and let rest for at least 2 hrs. Store leftovers in an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to one month.

To prepare the seasoned soy sauce, add remaining soy sauce, water, sugar, Sichuan peppercorns, remaining star anise, cinnamon stick, and garlic cloves to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until simmering, then turn to low heat and let simmer for 15 min. Add rice vinegar and mix well. Strain and discard spices. Let cool before using. Store leftovers in an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to one month.

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Slowly stir in remaining water, using chopsticks or a wooden spoon to mix, then continue kneading with your hands until the dough is smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 min.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into mini logs. Brush with vegetable oil, then cover and let rise for 1 hr.

On an oiled working surface, roll each log into a flat rectangle a little shorter than the length of a chopstick. Then press a chopstick into each rectangle.

Gently tug on each end of the rectangles to slightly stretch it, then lightly hit it against the working surface. Separate the noodles where the chopstick was pressed into.

Cook noodles in salted boiling water for 2 - 3 min., then add bok choy and let blanch. Divide noodles among serving bowls and top with seasoned soy sauce and lots of chili oil and enjoy!

oz new potatoes

oz asparagus

peas

radishes

dill

scallions

tsp honey

tbsp white wine vinegar

horseradish

To make the dressing, zest and juice the lemon and add to a large bowl (big enough to toss the salad in). Next, add honey, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the chopped herbs and scallions. Add peas, drained potatoes, and toss well. Let sit for 10. min to marinate. Mix Greek yoghurt with horseradish in a small bowl and season it with salt and pepper.
