SPICY CHEESY PULL-APART BREAD



Spicy Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Canola oil spray
One 16-ounce tube refrigerated flaky biscuits (8 biscuits)
2 cups grated low-moisture mozzarella (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 6-inch cast-iron skillet with canola oil spray.
  • Remove the biscuits from the package and lay them out on a clean work surface. Gently pull the layers apart at the middle to divide the biscuits in half. Gently pull each of the halves apart so you are left with four thin, round biscuits each (32 in all). Don't worry if any biscuits tear: just press the torn pieces back together.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of the mozzarella in the center of each biscuit round; you will use about 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella for this. Fold the dough around the cheese and roll into balls. Arrange the balls in a circle around the edge of the prepared skillet, then work your way in until you have completely filled the cast-iron pan with the dough balls. If you start to run out of room as you get closer to the center of the skillet, gently push the dough from the center towards the edges of the pan to make more space.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, stir in the scallions, garlic, red pepper and salt. Cook until the butter is just beginning to brown and the garlic is lightly toasted and very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  • Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Serve in the skillet.

SPICED FRUIT LOAF



Spiced fruit loaf image

A treat when freshly baked and spread with butter, then try it toasted for breakfast the next day

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Afternoon tea, Breakfast, Brunch, Treat

Time 2h40m

Yield Makes 2 x 2lb loaves, each cuts into 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

450g strong white flour , plus extra for dusting
2 x 7g sachets easy-blend yeast
50g caster sugar
150ml warm milk
1 egg , beaten
50g unsalted butter , melted, plus extra for greasing
oil , for greasing
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
50g dried apricot , chopped
50g dried fig , chopped
50g pitted date , chopped
50g sultana
50g glacé cherry , chopped
juice 1 orange

Steps:

  • Soak the dried fruits in the orange juice for about 30 mins, then sieve, reserving the juice.
  • Put the flour, yeast, caster sugar and 1 tsp salt into a large mixing bowl with the spices and soaked fruit and mix well. Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm milk, reserved orange juice, the beaten egg and the melted butter. Mix everything together to form a dough - start with a wooden spoon and finish with your hands. If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water; if it's too wet, add more flour.
  • Knead in the bowl or on a floured surface until the dough becomes smooth and springy. Transfer to a clean, lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with a clean, damp tea towel. Leave in a warm place to rise until roughly doubled in size - this will take about 1 hr depending on how warm the room is.
  • Knock the dough back by kneading for a few secs. Dust 2 x 2lb loaf tins with flour. Halve the dough. Use a little flour to help you shape each half into a smooth oval, then pop them into the tins. Cover both loosely with a clean, damp tea towel and leave to prove in a warm place for about 20 mins. Meanwhile, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Bake for 20 mins, then cool in the tins before turning out and slicing.
