Combine tender, golden yeast bread with creamy, melted brie and tomatoes, and you've got an appetizer that guests will line up for. It also makes a great side to soup, salad or pasta dishes. —Laurie Figone, Petaluma, California
Ingredients:
2-1/2 to 3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
6 ounces brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the water and 1/4 cup oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 375°. Punch dough down. Press into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning and remaining oil. Spread over dough; top with cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack. Yield: 12 servings.
