Another creation.
So today I was racking my brain on what to cook for my cousins wedding social. I came up with a new creation. I took some bacon, Italian sausage, mushrooms, onion, parsley, roasted red pepper and I fried this all up.
Next I made up a pizza dough, and cut it into small sections. I wasn't sure how I was going to "execute" the final look. So I rolled some over, made mini pizza's with some. Added some marble cheese and baked it in the oven.
It doesn't look pretty, but MAN these things are awesome!! :D
Oh yes, that loaf of bread in the pic IS the sour dough bread I made with the bread machine.

Needs a cream cheese on the bottom some how. Not sure how you would spread it on the un cooked dough, but maybe if you mixed it in with the meat mixture...

Your loaf of bread looks like it is ceramic:eek: I mean that in a nice way... as in it looks too shiny and perfect to be a real loaf of bread.
Everything else looks great! You can do the cream cheese on the crust with no problem. Cream cheese is very versatile.:)

You could make a cream cheese dip or put it in a bowl to spread on the bread. Crean Cheese mixed with bacon and onion with just a smidge of vinegar to make it easy to spread. Or blackberry jam mixed with cream cheese.

Colored garnish on top could detract from the brown on tan look.
A little green arugula... a few bits of warm,diced, canned roasted red peppers.
Or even just a quality white cheese over the top, flashed for a minute under a broiler.

I actually roasted red pepper in my oven with a tin foil roaster I made. Should have taken a pic of that too I guess.
This was something I just threw together on a whim, if I do decide to make these for the social, they will look a lot nicer. Will also have to find a firmer dough to work with and maybe brush with EVOO to soften the dough. Unless you guys have a better tip for me?

Instead of cream cheese, maybe a slice of brie. It's mild, buttery and melts nicely!

OOooOO Brie would be awesome. I think along with the cheddar cheese I will use, it will be a nice mild flavor. But how would I spread the Brie on the raw dough?

I could do that, but I baked the fried mixture on top. Unless I just spooned the mixture over top of the baked bread. Hmm good idea Kit, now I am going to have to try this again!

A Little Taste of Heaven (as told by a few italian girls I know)
So simple... four ingredients-ish... sort of
Roasted garlic spread
Softened cream cheese
Roasted red peppers
Toasted ciabatta
Start with 2-3 heads of fresh garlic, peeled. It takes time. Suck it up. There are tricks to it. Or go to costco or sams and buy a big arse container of pre-peeled garlic for next to nothing. If doing a lot, its worth it. I like to add the peeled garlic cloves into a big pyrex measuring container. Add some olive oil. Freshly grated pepper and salt. Cover with foil. Into oven at 425ish. Check the garlic about ten minutes after you smell it. Watch the steam when opening. Should be fork tender.
This can be done easily ahead of time. You are essentially making a garlic "mash" or spread... the roasting takes out the pungent harshess of raw garlic and presents a sweetness that even garlic haters have liked in my fam.
When the garlic is easily mashed, its done. Separate from the oil, which can be refridgerated for a different use.
The red peppers... I've roasted many myself, but I'm more than glad to use quality jarred roasted red peppers in oil. Remove from jar and place on cutting board. Cut into strips, then pieces. Add to pie tin, metal or pyrex, in the oven at a lower temp... lets say 350.
The cream chesse should have been set out a couple of hours ago to soften to room temp. what? I got to tell you everything in advance? One or two blocks will do.
Get a quality ciabatta. Cut it into a bunch of wedges. Then cut the wedges into half through the middle... so that each piece of ciabatta has a crust side (top or bottom)... and place the pieces onto a baking sheet, crist side down, and toast until crispy. You can do this while the peppers are on a lower rack.
Serve the bread while hot. Spread cream chesse on it. Then a little garlic mash. Then a little red pepper.
So, so simple. The mash and the pepper can me reheated on low microwave setting. The bread should be done just before eating.
