So sometime ago Swati added me to a group started by Aparna about breads and the amount I love baking breads it had me very very excited and then I met with a small accident and hurt my wrist 😦 and there went all my plans to bake the bread, I told Aparna that I might have to skip this month and she being the sweet person she is told me please rest and bake it later. However pretty pictures of the bread started flowing in and I knew I had to bake this one 😛 and so I did…
I used the filling as bacon and tomato butter and used her recipe as it as the bread base. Since the doctor has told me to rest my wrist (come on don’t stare at me :P) I will keep the post short and let not to so good pictures do the talking and not so good pictures because I finished baking the bread at 7 pm, left the bread for cooling and thought will get up in the morning take some good shots and serve it for breakfast. Called my mum came back after 20 mins and all that is left is some crumbs and two slices… and father & son telling me dinner is done *sigh* but that atleast means the bread was good, it had to be it had butter, garlic, tomatoes and bacon in it after all 😀
There is something about, garlic and tomatoes together specially grilled
To make the tomato butter take 250 gms of cherry tomatoes, chop them in halves, 4 large garlic cloves, two tablespoons butter and grill at 200C for about 40 mins
After grilling the tomatoes, add sea salt and freshly ground green pepper to it and puree it in the mixer. Add 1/4 cup of butter to it and whip till light and fluffy
Your finger licking good tomato butter is ready
I used the same basic recipe for bread so I am not typing it out since my wrist needs rest *what you are staring at me again* come on people 😉
PS: Swati is also having a little giveaway on her blog, go take part people along with a Nigella book she is giving away a basket of spices and pickles from her kitchen *drool*
Deliciously divine!! Hope your wrist gets better soon.
thanks

But as i was reading the recipe i didn’t see any bacon.
