Rye Flour

If you wait all year for apple-picking season then spend all fall baking every single apple dessert, this earthy, nutty apple and rye cake has your name all over it.

In this pizza, which is reminiscent of a Sicilian pie, the dough is enriched with whole-wheat or rye flour, then topped with a thin layer of anchovy-spiked tomato sauce (skip the fish, if you wish), and once it comes out of the oven, grated Parmesan and a mountain of greens. You have several pan options: For the thinnest crust with the crispiest bottom and edges, use a 13x9" rimmed baking sheet. If you don’t have one, you can also use a 10" or 12" cast-iron skillet: Your dough will be a bit thicker, more pillowy, and not as crisp. Or you can also easily double the recipe and use an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Just make sure to plan ahead: This dough needs to rise in the fridge for at least 12 hours.

This bread has a nutty flavor and intense chew; it makes toast that’s a wholesome meal unto itself. 

For the full effect, deliver a jar of the dry ingredients with a half dozen eggs, a quart of buttermilk, and a jug of syrup.

To maximize the tangy flavor of the rye flour, use rye whiskey instead of bourbon.

Because it contains more essential oils, whole grain rye flour can spoil quickly. Store the unused portion in the fridge or freezer.
