Bread stuffed with Antipasti (Gitit Wainer)

Notes from Gitit ... Still working on the bread. I learnt a real easy bread recipe and upgraded it. Some of it I baked as is but the rest I filled with antipasti I made. The recipe goes like this:

The Bread

2 cups of water
4 spoons oil/butter
5 spoons sugar
2 1/2 teas spoons salt
6 cups flour (u can mix whole wheat flour with regular bread flour)
3 tea spoons dry yeast

  • Mix all together let it rise touch it a bit after doubled let it rise again and make the bread from it.

nuts/seeds/spices

  • What I did was: added sun flower seed to the dough (u can add whatever nuts/seads/spices u like).

The Antipasti bit

garlic, onion and sweet potato

  • Some of it I baked as is but the rest I filled with anti-pasti I made. I baked in the oven garlic, onion and sweet potato (I wraped each on with tin foil).
  • When they were soft I took them out and cut them nicely.

eggplant (cut it into thin slices)

  • At the same time I sautéed an eggplant (cut it into thin slices)....

Bread from above

  • After the dough was ready I kneed it to a rectangular shape,

olive tapenade

  • I spread olive tapenade on the bread
  • on top of the tapenade in the middle only I organized the antipasti.
  • I cut the margins of the dough diagonally in 2.5 cm gap from each side of the filling and then braided it. (I hope u can envision it...).
  • Wrapped it with cling film and put in the fridge over night.
  • Then took it out of the fridge and baked it like u would bake any other bread...
  • It was delicious!!!
  • Hope it all made sense..
