CRACKED PEPPER BREAD

Steps:

ROASTED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS, AND ONIONS AND CHEESY BREAD WITH BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place sausage rings on a baking sheet and liberally drizzle extra-virgin olive oil down over them. Place in hot oven and roast until casings are crisp and juices run clear, somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes. Remove from oven to rest sausages; switch on broiler.
• While sausages roast, heat a skillet over medium heat with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and sliced garlic. Simmer garlic in extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 3 minutes then add peppers and onions. Turn the heat up a notch, and cook until the vegetables are tender but the peppers still hold strong color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add thinned tomato sauce, salt, and pepper and reduce. Turn heat back to low and hold the veggies until the sausage comes out of the oven, a couple of minutes.
• Toast the split bread, remove from oven, rub with cracked garlic, liberally drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and cover with cheese and lots of black pepper. Return to the broiler to brown cheese, 1 minute. Scatter parsley over the bread.
• Cut bread into chunks and pile with peppers and onions then sausages. The bread will soak in the juices as you work through the sausage, peppers and onions.

CRACKED BLACK PEPPER CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Mix together first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
• In another smaller bowl, mix together eggs, yogurt, oil, milk, and mustard.
• Add to the flour mixture; also add cheese and onions.
• Mix just until moistened; batter will be lumpy.
• Pour batter into a greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until tests done.
• Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minute.
• Remove bread from pan and this is best served warm.
• This bread goes well with hearty stews and soups.

CRACKED BLACK PEPPER & FIGGY BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, pepper, salt and yeast. Stir in the olive oil and enough warm water to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth and elastic.
• Put the dough in a lightly oiled, large bowl. Cover with oiled cling film and leave in a warm place for about 1 hr or until doubled in size. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. When the dough has risen, knead it again to incorporate the figs, by pushing the dough and lightly kneading them in. Don't overwork the dough; it can look quite rough.
• Shape the dough into a rough oval and put on a lightly floured baking sheet. Using scissors, slash the top of the loaf and sprinkle over a little flour. Leave it to rise again, uncovered, until slightly swelled, about 10-15 mins (if the kitchen is warm). Bake for 40-45 mins until it sounds hollow when you tap it underneath, then cool on a wire rack.
