Roasted Pepper, Garlic Scapes & Cheddar Bread
It was the SRC time of the month yesterday, and I’m sorry I got the dates mixed up. Just shows that old age has crept in and I had the 6th in my mind and the post scheduled for today. That said, I made this beautiful bread from Barbs delicious blog a few weeks ago! My take on her recipe on Moms Fridge resulted in a Roasted Pepper, Garlic Scapes & Cheddar Bread which was fabulous!
It was as simple as Barb said it was going to be. Make the dough in your bread machine {if you haven’t bought one yet then I would recommend zojirushi bread machines}, then fill, roll, rise and bake! I made the dough in a jiffy in the Thermomix {it’s magical for dough making I have to say}, and in my normal tearing routine mixed up the instructions. I let the dough rise first and then attempted to stuff it, which might explain why my roll isn’t as neat at Barbs, and quite rustic to look at.
Since the dough rose first, and the red bell peppers were freshly char-grilled {more liquid component}, my dough tore in a few places which meant I had to almost fold it over several times to keep the stuffing in safe. In the end, the Roasted Pepper, Garlic Scapes & Cheddar Bread looked more like one of my favourite breads, the French Fougasse, which I make quite often.
Do check out Barbs post to see how it should actually look. The bread however was delicious and I served it with a mushroom potato soup and a green salad. Yummy meal and the bread went FAST!
Thank you Barb was this beautiful recipe, and I do apologise for the late post.

 [print_this]Recipe: Roasted Pepper, Garlic Scapes & Cheddar Bread

Summary: A quick delicious bread that you can adapt to filling of your choice. Adapted from SFO Mom

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes {plus rising/resting time}
Ingredients:

  • Dough
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups plain flour
  • 2 tbsp gluten
  • 2 1/2 tsp yeast
  • 1 tbsp pickled peppers, chopped fine {optional}
  • 1 tbsp dried herbs {optional}
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped fine {optional}
  • Filling
  • 200gm cheddar, grated
  • 2 roasted red bell peppers, chopped
  • 2-3 garlic scapes with greens, finely chopped
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Olive Oil and sea salt for the top.

Method:

  1. Use the dough cycle of the bread machine, and put in the ingredients in the order recommended by the manufacturer. {Thermomix: Place all dough  ingredients in TM bowl, mix on Speed 4 for 5 seconds. Knead on lid closed position for 2 minutes}. 
  2. Remove dough; cover and let it rest 10 minutes. Then roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  3. Sprinkle with garlic scapes, roasted peppers and cheddar.  Grind pepper over the filling if you like. Leave 1/2 inch margin all around. Don’t leave the topping on the dough too long as the peppers are quite moist. 
  4. Roll tightly like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam closed, and the ends as well. Place on a foil-covered baking sheet. {The foil is important in case the bread springs a leak.} Cut a few slashes in the top.
  5. Preheat oven to 180C.
  6. Cover and let the bread rise 30 to 45 minutes.
  7. Bake 35 minutes till golden brown. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top the minute it comes out.
  8. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

  4. Garlic, herbs, cheese and roasted bell peppers – what lovely flavors in a yeast bread! And with that soup, double delicious!

  12. That looks really good! When you make the dough in the bread machine, it does rise. I just punch it down and then roll it out.
    Great minds think alike–over the weekend I made a “non-pepperoni” bread with some sauteed onions and peppers and mozzarella cheese. It was a HUGE hit. I want to try this bread your way; it looks fabulous with the peppers and cheese all throughout the bread.
    I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe and thanks for the great way to modify it!

  15. What a beautiful loaf… I think you could have just pretended that you purposely made it so rustic, and I wouldn’t have known any better. 🙂
    PS – I’ve never seen a garlic scape with the bulb still attached… it’s so pretty! The scapes we can buy over here are just a thick curly stem with a pointy tip, since they cut them off in the spring to force the garlic to focus its energies on the bulb.

  20. Oh that looks good Deeba. I wish I’d made such & variety of breads during winters!
    And I’m surprised how the ‘garlic scapes with greens’ look like scallions (spring onions) – to think of it, it’s onion & garlic at the same time?! Hehe! 😀

  22. Deeba, you know I am a huge fan of baking bread at home and yours are each better than the last. Always perfect and always filled with a surprising and tasty blend of ingredients. I must try this recipe – love the cheddar, scapes and roasted red peppers – how perfect!

  26. Nice! One day when I am courageous enough to use yeast, I will try this bread! I know my husband will have the whole loaf 😀

  28. Hi Deeba. Recipe sounds really yummy. Will try it over the weekend. Recipe asks for Gluten. Is there a specific brand you use or where in Gurgaon would it be available ? Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
