“This is a new classic. King Arthur Baking Company makes some of the country’s finest flours — and has been doing so since 1790. The brand’s website is packed with always reliable recipes for everything from basic sandwich bread to yeast-raised sticky buns. King Arthur’s latest cookbook is a similarly varied collection, with lots of global influences. It includes recipes for Mexican conchas and bolo bao from Hong Kong, Jerusalem-style bagels and Japanese milk bread. We’re especially excited about the savory entree items like meat-topped flatbread sfeeha halaby, pan-fried sheng jian bao, and a sourdough lasagna.” —Food and Wine
