Larry Forgione is an elegant chef and his chocolate pudding is one of the best that I know. The chocolate used in this recipe should be the very best.

Thumb_14004_No-Knead Rolls

These light, rich rolls are baked in muffin tins, which eliminates the skill and time normally needed for shaping rolls. They don’t require kneading, either, because the long, slow first rise develops both the gluten and the appealing yeasty flavor. Read more about this recipe at the Washington Post.
