Stir together warm water and sugar in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Stir in whole wheat flour, rye flour, and salt. Mix in bread flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is not sticky. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Chicken Marsala Milanese
I usually only try to improve recipes one at a time, but here, we're going to do two. We're making chicken Marsala better by doing the chicken Milanese-style, and we're going to improve chicken Milanese with the same amazing sauce that goes on chicken Marsala. The results were incredible. Serve with an arugula salad.
Oven Baked Omelet
This oven-baked omelet is the perfect recipe for a crowd. The oven helps the eggs stay fluffy and yummy.
Buffalo Cauliflower
This Buffalo cauliflower is a great substitution for Buffalo wings and can be made gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian. Make sure to coat your cookie sheet well with oil, or the cauliflower will stick. My husband and kids give this two thumbs up! You can dip the cauliflower in ranch or blue cheese for added flavor, but it doesn't need it.
