There is never a bad time to experience Santa Fe’s warmth and culture. And although it’s best done amidst The City Different’s adobe structures and unique cuisine, these Native American-inspired recipes from the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado — a luxurious retreat dotted with casitas and suites tucked into the Sangre de Cristo foothills — minutes from Santa Fe’s historic center conjure a sense of the city’s one-of-kind enchantment from your taste buds to your heart.

In a bowl, combine sugar, sage, salt, baking soda, and flour. Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water. In a separate bowl, beat egg and cottage cheese together until smooth. Add melted shortening and yeast.
Add flour mixture slowly to egg mixture, beating well after each addition until a stiff dough is formed.
Cover dough with cloth and put in warm place until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Punch dough down, knead for 1 minute, and place in well-greased pan. Cover and let rise for 40 minutes.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 minutes. Brush top with melted shortening and sprinkle with crushed roasted pine nuts or coarse salt.
