Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stop mixer and add flour mixture; mix on low speed until just combined. Remove half the dough; divide into two equal pieces, wrap in plastic, and set aside while you make the chocolate dough.
- In a small bowl, stir together cocoa, espresso, and 2 tablespoons hot water. Add cocoa mixture to remaining cookie dough and mix on low speed until color is uniform, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- Place half the chocolate dough on a sheet of parchment and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll dough into a 14-by-10-inch rectangle (dough will be very thin but can be easily patched if it tears). Set aside, still covered with plastic. Repeat rolling process with remaining chocolate dough and both pieces of vanilla dough.
- Place one sheet of chocolate dough on work surface and remove plastic. Remove plastic from one sheet of vanilla dough and invert, still attached to its parchment backing, onto chocolate dough, pressing gently with the palm of your hand to adhere. Gently peel back parchment paper to remove. Continue layering with remaining chocolate and vanilla doughs. Position dough with one short side parallel to edge of work surface, then roll dough into a tight spiral. Wrap log in parchment and place in a cardboard paper-towel tube that has been cut open from end to end (this will help retain the round shape of the log of dough). Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Trim ends from dough. Slice dough 1/4 inch thick. Roll each cookie between sheets of parchment into an oblong disk about 3 inches long and 1/8 inch thick; transfer to prepared sheets. Bake until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool completely. Working with one cookie at a time, dip an edge in melted chocolate and coat with pistachios. Transfer to fresh parchment-lined baking sheets and let stand until chocolate is set, 45 to 60 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine the yeast and warm milk and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In large mixing bowl, add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, sugar, and honey and whisk to combine.
- Add in the milk and yeast mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the flour and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the butter and mix until fully incorporated.
- Cover with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Bring out the dough onto floured work surface and knead until smooth.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and place in bowls and cover each with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit at room temperature for at least two hours, or when it has doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- For the chocolate sauce, combine bittersweet chocolate, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, and turbinado sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer to a floured work surface and roll both pieces of dough into a rectangle roughly 10x15-inches.
- Cover the dough with half of the chocolate sauce leaving an ½ inch - 1 inch of room on all sides.
- Gently roll the dough up and repeat with second piece of dough and remaining chocolate sauce.
- Using a bench scraper or a knife, carefully cut each log vertically in half making sure the seam is side down.
- Lay one piece of dough horizontally and lay another piece over it vertically so you have a rough 'plus sign'.
- Lay another piece horizontally over the vertical piece and above the other horizontal piece.
- Lay the final piece vertically on the right of the other vertical piece having it go over the top horizontal piece but weaving it under the lower horizontal piece.
- Starting with the bottom vertical piece on the right side, bring it to the left layering it over the other vertical lower piece.
- Follow this method around the dough clockwise.
- Once returned to the bottom lower vertical pieces. Take the original piece you crossed over (the lower left vertical piece) and cross that over to the right layering it over the last piece you used. Continue this counterclockwise until back at the bottom or you are unable to layer the dough anymore.
- Tuck in the excess pieces of dough under the bread.
- Transfer the bread into a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Enjoy!

NEAPOLITAN SWIRL BREAD
Indulgent buttery brioche gets a Neapolitan treatment. We divided the dough into three portions and kneaded in the flavors of strawberry, vanilla and chocolate, then stacked and rolled the portions to create a mesmerizing swirl with a trio of flavors in every bite. Enjoy it as is or with a slather of strawberry jam, or use it to make a delightfully different bread pudding.

Steps:
- Place the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix on low speed to combine. Add the milk and 3 of the eggs and mix on low speed until well combined. Increase the speed to medium high and mix until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to medium and start adding the butter a little at a time, waiting until completely incorporated before adding more and beating for 7 to 10 minutes total. Increase the mixer to medium high and continue to mix until the dough is glossy and slightly tacky but not sticky, 7 to 10 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil. Put the dried strawberries in a spice grinder or mini chopper and pulse until finely ground (you should have a scant 1/2 cup). Add the strawberry powder and 7 teaspoons of boiling water to a small bowl and stir until combined into a paste (the texture should be like thick, sticky peanut butter).
- Add the cocoa powder and 5 teaspoons of boiling water to another small bowl and stir until combined.
- Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Add one portion of the dough back to the bowl of the stand mixer along with the vanilla bean paste. Knead with the dough hook on medium speed until combined and the dough is still tacky but not sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Add another portion of the dough to the mixer bowl along with the strawberry paste and a few drops of the food coloring. Knead on medium speed, adding more food coloring as needed to get the desired shade, until combined and the dough is still tacky but not sticky, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a separate small bowl. Wipe the mixer bowl and dough hook clean.
- Add the last portion of dough to the mixer bowl along with the chocolate paste. Knead on medium speed until combined and the dough is still tacky but not sticky, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a third small bowl.
- Cover each bowl of dough with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
- To assemble, individually roll out the 3 pieces of chilled dough on separate sheets of parchment, dusting with flour as needed, into three 9-by-5-inch rectangles. Stack the pieces on top of each other with the chocolate dough on the bottom, vanilla in the middle and strawberry on the top.
- Roll out the stack of dough into a 17-by-8-inch rectangle, flipping the stack over now and then to keep the layers even and making sure to square off the ends (this will ensure that all the layers stick and bake together). With the chocolate layer on the bottom and starting from a shorter end, start rolling the dough into a tight spiral, like a jelly roll cake.
- Generously butter a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan and place the rolled dough inside, seam-side down. Generously butter a piece of plastic wrap large enough to cover the pan and place it butter-side down loosely over the pan. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it reaches 1 inch above the rim of the pan, about 3 hours.
- Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Beat the remaining 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the top of the loaf with the egg wash. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the loaf is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle reaches 190 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the loaf to loosen and turn the loaf out of the pan. Let cool completely top-side up on the rack.

Few things are as comforting as a warm, freshly baked slice of banana bread, a buttery, banana-y, toasty pecan loaf of goodness!

Using a knife, swirl the two batters through the loaf pan a few times, without overmixing.

- First things first, start by proofing the yeast. In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk, 1/4 cup of sugar (reserve 3/4 cup of sugar for later), and yeast. Stir it together until the sugar and yeast dissolve. Place it in a warm place and let the yeast proof.
- Using a silicone spatula, transfer half of the dough into a medium glass bowl (and reserve for adding cacao and cinnamon later, after finishing mixing the white dough first).
- Towards the end of the rising time, make the eggs wash. Beat an egg with water until well combined and set aside until ready for use.
- Work with one color of dough at a time. Move the white dough onto a well-floured working surface. Knead the dough into a ball and split the white dough in half (keep in mind that this recipe makes 2 loaves of marbled bread). Place the second half of the white dough back into the glass bowl and cover it again with plastic to prevent it from drying out. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4" in thickness.
