Tomato, Basil, and Garlic Filled Pane Bianco
~makes 2 loaves
Last week I was looking over my e-mails and had one from King Arthur about the 2011 National Festival of Breads Competition. On the main page was the 2009 Gold winner, for a Tomato, Basil, and Garlic Filled Pane Bianco. It just looked sooooo good!
The second I got off work I dropped by the grocery store and bought the ingredients I needed. Then I went home and baked it up. Yes, I picked up my two, crazy, little girls from daycare, went home to get Hubster and them dinner, and to make bread! (Very motivated I was by this bread.)
Well, I guess it is a winner. For such an advanced bread making recipe, it was very easy to do. Plus the recipe makes enough for two loaves! I was very happy to add this to my recipe box. It's a keeper. If I was to complain about anything, it would be that the dough could rest longer to develop a little more flavor. But I put this together exactly as the recipe said and was pleased with first time results.
I'm thinking of entering the 2011 National Festival of Breads Competition this year. (For some reason it appears that 2010 was skipped). But they are taking entries now if you would like to participate: http://www.nationalfestivalofbreads.com/enter/default.aspx
Oh, and one thing, I forgot on my first loaf was to tent it after 10 minutes with foil- so my picture shows a more browned bread.
And as Sam-I-Am says in Green Eggs and Ham, "Just try it, you might like it!" And I say, "I do. I do like this." It is extra good with Laughing Cow Cheese spread on top.
