So no-knead is pretty simple - it's like a minute per work session, spread out over two days or so. All you do is mix by hand the first day & let it sit. Then the second day, you fold it over & let it do a second rise for a couple hours, then pop it in the oven - easy peasy! In a bit more detail:

1. First day - 1 min - mix the ingredients & let rise for 8 to 24 hours
   
2. Second day - 1 min - fold over into a ball or roll shape, cover, & let rise for 2 hours
   
   1. One hour into this rise, preheat the oven with your baking vessel inside (Dutch oven, pizza stone, or my personal favorite, the Baking Steel)
      
3. Second day - 1 min - put in oven to let it bake (between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on if you're doing a short roll, a long baguette, a boule aka an artisan loaf aka a peasant loaf, etc.)
   
4. Second day - 1 min - pull it out of the oven to cool
   
   I tell people that baking bread is all about developing a relationship with the idea. Whereas a recipe is something you can lock in, like French onion soup, stuff like amazing homemade bread & pizza comes not from talent or magic or a strict recipe, but from developing a relationship with flour-based products, because - within the guidelines of the recipe, of course - a large part of it is a "feel" thing, and also a personal preference thing for how long you like to let it do the first rise, how much water to give it vs. how much flour to add, how you shape it & fold it, etc.
   
   But as you can see about, for about 5 minute's worth of hands-on work time over the course of a couple of days, you can have no-knead bread every single day, for cheap! Whole Foods charges $4.99 for the same loaf that costs me like $0.25 at home. You can buy bulk bags of 20, 25, or 50 pound flour at places like Costco. Walmart has a 25-pound sack of King Arthur flour (good brand) for $15:

  I'd highly recommend investing in some good yeast. Two one-pound bags of SAF yeast is $12 shipped on Amazon, just store it in your freezer to extend the shelf life:

  The key with making great no-knead bread at home is to have some kind of heavy, heat-absorbing (and thus heat-radiating) surface or bowl, such as a pizza stone, baking steel, Dutch oven (enameled or straight-up cast-iron), etc. I personally use a baking steel most of the time - not cheap by any means, but like cast-iron skillets, it's something that you buy once & keep it for life because it's impossible to break or wear out:

  If you like eating Panera's bread bowls, you can make them at home using a small 2-quart cast-iron Dutch oven: ($22 shipped, another one of those "buy it for life" items)

  I use Kosher salt in all of my baking - just snag a jumbo red box of Diamond & you'll be good to go for a long time. One tool I've found useful is a Danish dough hook, which is a flat whisk that is really good for batters & doughs. Amazon has a kit with a bench cutter (if you want to slice the dough into smaller bits easily, like for crusty dinner rolls) for $12:

  So, there are a few things to think about investing in up-front - the main expense is a good baking surface, although Amazon has plenty of good pizza stones for under $30 - plus some bulk bags of flour & yeast to save money - but that opens up a world of possibilities. You can make tons of stuff like baguettes, boules, dinner rolls, etc. I have a zillion no-knead recipes if you need some ideas!
  
  And once you've mastered the basics of no-knead, you can branch that out into sourdough breads with homemade sourdough starter, which is SUPER easy to make, which adds more flavor to the dough! Like I said, it's a relationship in many ways:
  
  
• You have to get the hang of how it goes together
  
• You have to figure out what you personally like
  
• You have to build up your recipe box with different methods
  
• You can then add sourdough starter to it (again, super easy!)
  
• You can then try cold fermentation in the fridge (some reading)
  
• You can then branch out tremendously (I have good recipes for no-knead cheese bread, Sriracha bread, naan bread, pizza dough, plus stuff like cinnamon buns, pretzel, etc.)
  
  Here's an example of a baguette on the baking steel:

  Don't get alarmed by the steps - remember for the majority of the time, you're just letting stuff sit...the actual hands-on time is extremely minimal, so once you work it into your daily routine, you'll be having fresh bread all the time! Your house will smell amazing & your tastebuds will love it!

I hope Cheesecake Factory does something better, but I’ve worked for 2 bigger named chains and our recipe was this: Minute Maid lemonade with about 2 Tbsps of this flavored syrup Monin - Strawberry Syrup, Mild and Sweet, Great for Cocktails and Teas, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Non-GMO (1 Liter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071ZRDYJD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_aoJxDbTDWYGYF

Yeah that's pretty normal I think, a lot of recipes say to punch the dough down and then form it into a ball, then let it rise for a second time just before baking. I'm still somewhat of a novice, I just started using FSWY (http://www.amazon.com/Flour-Water-Salt-Yeast-Fundamentals/dp/160774273X) has been a very interesting read for me and would probably be good for you if you want a really in depth explanation. ^^^I ^^^can ^^^also ^^^share ^^^an ^^^ebook ^^^version ^^^if ^^^you ^^^can't ^^^afford ^^^it ^^^right ^^^now

You're welcome! Happy to help.

In the UK they sell it in the restaurants, failing that [Amazon](The Wagamama Cookbook https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1856266494/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QikkybZEVJW6S) or any reputable bookseller.

It's great. Lots of recipes in there.

I'm quite sure it is NOT what they use, but I'm quite fond of Truffle Zest as a way of adding truffle flavor to things. It's a much nicer flavor than most of the "truffle oils" out there.

This may be a little sweeter than what you're looking for, but I'm a fan of Hendrickson's Sweet Vinegar and Olive Oil dressing. (You'll probably be able to find it a lot cheaper at your local store than what Amazon has listed, but link included so you know what it looks like.)

i concur with the suggestion of the crunchy life recipe. HOWEVER, Heluva Good also has it's product available from Amazon fresh
https://www.amazon.com/Heluva-Good-French-Onion-12oz/dp/B004HGQL3S/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo&fpw=alm&keywords=heluva+good+dip&qid=1569616080&sr=8-2

I've had it once and it tasted like ranch plus perhaps Dave's Habenero sauce. Dave's sauces are good stuff and ultra-concentrated, not 90% carrots like the cheap ones.

I realize that my suggestion does not contain the specific recipe you’re looking for, but if you’re into Star Trek food, you might wish to try Neelix’s cookbook. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Cookbook-Ethan-Phillips/dp/0671000225

you can get real coco on amazon, but it's expensive (4 for over $30) and the packet is only 220g.

try S&B golden curry, it's widely available online, in some supermarkets, and definitely almost all asian markets... if you doctor it up (check youtube for some vids), it's a fairly suitable alternative - but be aware it does have msg

also check here for a scratch recipe

This might be a good excuse to get one of these!

May I interest you in Cooking with Coolio?

You want Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce

Gold Plum is highly recommended https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Plum-Chinkiang-Vinegar-18-6/dp/B00BUIKGU0

I think it’s sold on amazon.

Heinz disconnected the production of their sloppy joe mix, ever since a lot of people stopped liking my mom's sloppy Joe's. They're just not as good. Anyone know the recipe to mimic?

Anyone take a guess what the ratios of these seasoning ingredients are. They're listed on the info but I dunno what ratios they're in.
