SOURDOUGH NAAN FLATBREAD
This is a stovetop and sourdough-leavened variation on Indian naan flatbread. This dough is easy to mix up, has a non-traditional cooking strategy of using a hot cast-iron pan. The flatbread is delicious when served with traditional Indian lentils (e.g. masoor dal) or used to dip in hummus or even make personal toaster-oven pizzas. They freeze well and you may find yourself doubling the batch to have more in stock.

Steps:
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and then hand-knead for a few minutes. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky or more milk if it's too dry.
- Cover the dough and let rise by 70-100%. This can take several days in the refrigerator or 4-8 hours at room temperature (or more), depending on the temperature and starter ripeness.
- Scrape the dough onto a floured countertop, de-gas and divide it in eight pieces. I cut the dough like it is a pie. This is a good time to add minced garlic, chives or herbs if you want. Keep the pieces small, though, to not break the dough when you roll it flat.
- Roll the triangles into eight balls, keeping track of which ball you made first so this can be the dough you fry first. I no longer do a final proof, finding that the bread is more bubbly this way. You simply need about 10 minutes between making the first ball and trying to roll it flat for the gluten to relax again.
- On your stovetop, preheat a 10-inch or larger cast iron pan to "medium." You'll arrive at the perfect temperature for your pan and burner via trial and error.
- Roll out your first ball to a little less than 1/4 inch thick . I very lightly flour my counter and very lightly oil my rolling pin.
- Transfer the dough to the hot frying pan and cook each side for 1-2 minutes. Flip when the top of the dough bubbles and the sides curl under. You're aiming for brown spots, so adjust your heat accordingly.
- Place the cooked naans on a rack to cool. You should have time to roll one dough while frying another. When all the naans are cooked and cool, cover or wrap them so they don't dry out. You can also brush them with melted garlic-and-herb butter while they're warm if you want.
- You can freeze and reheat the naans in the toaster.
SAVORY BABKA WITH RICOTTA AND HERBS
This cheese-filled bread has the same soft, rich dough of a traditional babka, but instead of being filled with cinnamon or chocolate, it has an herb-speckled, garlic-scented ricotta swirled throughout. Some optional chopped ham or olives give the bread an even saltier tang, but you can leave it out for something milder. Leftover babka makes excellent toast or - if you want to take it to another level of gooeyness - grilled cheese sandwiches.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan on the stovetop, or in a bowl in the microwave, warm the milk until lukewarm, but not hot (about 110 degrees). Add yeast and pinch of sugar, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until slightly foamy.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, a food processor, or using a large bowl and a wooden spoon, mix the flour and salt. Beat or process in the yeast mixture and eggs until the dough comes together in a soft mass, about 2 minutes. It's OK if a little flour remains on the bottom of the bowl.
- Add half the butter and beat until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. Beat in the rest of the butter and continue to beat until dough is stretchy, another 5 to 7 minutes. At this point, all the flour should be worked into the dough. If not, add a teaspoon or two of water, and beat for another minute or so.
- Butter a clean bowl. Form the dough into a ball and roll it around in the bowl so all sides are buttered. Cover the bowl with a plate or dish towel, and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place, like the inside of a turned-off oven with the oven light on, until it puffs and rises, anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours. It may not double in bulk, but it should rise.
- Press the dough down with your hands to expel the air, cover the bowl again and refrigerate overnight. (In a pinch, you could chill the dough for 4 hours, but it won't develop as much flavor.)
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients until smooth. Taste and add more salt and black pepper, if needed. (If you used ham or olives, you probably won't need more salt.) Filling can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated.
- Butter a 9-inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of overhang for pulling the babka out later.
- Put the dough on a floured surface and roll it into a 9-by-17-inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly onto the dough, going all the way to the edge. Starting with a long side, roll into a tightly coiled log. Bring one end of the log to meet the other, then twist the dough, pinching together the ends to seal.
- Place dough into the prepared pan. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until puffy. (It won't quite double.)
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brush the top of the babka with more softened butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until the top is deeply golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. The babka should sound hollow if you tap it on the bottom once it's unmolded. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center will read 185 degrees. Transfer to a wire rack. Babka is best served still a little warm.
