We do not recommend margarine because it doesn’t produce the same high-quality result, and it isn’t good for you! Eggs: Large, unless otherwise noted. We recommend that for pregnant, auto-immune-challenged people, and small children, you use pasteurized eggs, especially in recipes calling for overnight storage, as well as custards which do not cook at high temperatures for longer periods of time. You can find these eggs in the dairy section of your grocery store. Flour: Unbleached and all-purpose, unless otherwise noted. Lukewarm water: Under 110 degrees F so it doesn’t kill the yeast. Oats: Quick-cooking oats, never instant. If a recipe calls for rolled oats, they need to be rolled oats, not quick or instant. Oil: Canola, rapeseed, or corn oil, unless we specify olive oil. Salt: We recommend using kosher and sea salt—kosher for baking, sea salt for cooking and finishing. Sugar: Granulated, unless otherwise noted. Size matters! Pans are whatever size the recipe calls for. Other sizes will give different results. A 9-inch pie shell, for instance, will take 1½ times the amount of filling of an 8-inch pie shell. – 7 – Fruit An Apple a Day – 9 –
