We're lucky around here… quite a few VPR staffers are terrific cooks. Fabulous smells often emanate from our kitchenette, and we do a lot of recipe swapping and taste testing! We love to cook for one another, and we'll use this page to showcase some of our favorite recipes, as well as the stories and traditions behind them.

My friend brought this to my house for a party. There was way too much food, so I ended up saving this and brought it to VPR on Monday. It was fresh and delicious even after a couple of days!
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp. yeast
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. water
Combine all ingredients, mix, and let rest in a covered bowl for 12-18 hours.
Turn dough out of bowl onto a floured surface. Fold dough twice and cover with a floured towel. Let dough rest for 2 hours.
Preheat a Dutch oven at 350 and plop dough in pan. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Remove the cover for the last 10 minutes to brown the top.
