Prosciutto Bread

Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, this bread provides protein from prosciutto and cheese. Fresh herbs add antioxidants and flavor without calories. To make healthier, use whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. Consider reducing cheese quantity and increasing herbs for flavor. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats. For a lighter version, make smaller portions or slice thinly. The protein content makes this more satisfying than plain bread. While delicious, enjoy in moderation as part of a balanced meal. The combination of protein and complex carbohydrates provides sustained energy.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

How Chefs Use Salt Differently Than Everyone Else

Cooking with kosher or sea salt rather than table salt can support modest sodium reduction without sacrificing perceived saltiness — the larger crystals make contact with taste receptors more efficiently on the surface of food, meaning less salt can deliver a comparable seasoning effect when used as a finish. Tasting and adjusting during cooking rather than at the table also tends to result in lower overall sodium use, since food seasoned throughout requires less correction at the end.

Enjoying one or two doughnuts mindfully and savoring the experience beats eating through a box on autopilot. And if you’re picking up two dozen thanks to the deal, your freezer is a surprisingly good short-term storage option — doughnuts freeze well for up to two months when wrapped tightly.
