Directions
Basil & Red Capsicum Pugliese, A delicious-sounding recipe for bread from The Basic Italian Cookbook by Lesley Pagett, which I found on Australian chef Huey’s website I have not made this yet, but look forward to doing so I would be inclined to add some garlic and some halved black olives The cooking time below does not include the 21/2 hours resting time , I only made 1/2 the recipe and it easily made two large round loaves I followed the ingredients exactly and it had a wonderfully warm and comforting flavor Like other people have mentioned, I could easily see it having some garlic and/or oregano, maybe even some rosemary Heck, I would even be inclined to roast other kinds of peppers, like jalapeños DEFINITELY A KEEPER!!, This is a very nice and flavorful bread! I halved the recipe to make 1 loaf, used a fresh red bell pepper instead of roasted, and added a little garlic This bread was easy to make and baked up beautifully Thanks for posting this recipe!
