Birote Guadalajaran Sourdough Bread

Birote Guadalajaran Sourdough Bread

I find nothing more satisfying than recreating the unique breads of Latin America in my own kitchen. I especially love when the bread is meant to be stuffed with savory fillings and drowned in spicy salsa — in Mexico, the torta ahogada is just that. Birote (pronounced bee-row-teh) is a crunchy, darkly baked sourdough bread said to have a flavor unique to the environment of Guadalajara, but if you grab your favorite beer and some limes, you'll come pretty close!

Main Course

Lobster Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese is good, but lobster mac and cheese is really special! Our recipe features buttery lobster tail and a smoky cheddar sauce cooked with cavatappi pasta (though any shape will do).

Panettone

Toasted hazelnuts and softened chocolate make this rich, buttery Italian panettone a favorite during the holidays.

This tender bread is scented with honey and baked to a golden brown. Use this recipe to make one large challah, or two smaller ones.

Sweet Plum Focaccia

With a delicate and airy crumb, this focaccia is the perfect showcase for ripe plums, which caramelize in the oven as the focaccia bakes. The delicate sweetness from the fruit is contrasted by fragrant rosemary and a sweet-salty crunch from a sprinkle of turbinado sugar and flaky sea salt, yielding a balanced pastry that's perfect for pairing with a dessert wine; Kate Leahy says late-harvest and ice wines are an ideal pairing.
