Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups bread flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 1 cup warm water
- Pear, pearl onions, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
- Coarse salt
- Plenty of olive oil (a few Tbs.)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, yeast and salt. Whisk until combined, then add the warm water. Using a wooden spoon, stir the dough together until it’s shaggy and wet. Perfect. Cover it with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel and let it sit on the counter overnight. At least 12 hours.
- Next day: Grab a casserole dish (mine was 7x12ish) and drizzle a decent amount of oil on the bottom. Uncover the bread bowl and look at that! It should be risen, bubbly, and beautiful. Tip the dough out of the bowl and into the casserole dish. Spread it with your hands to fit the dish snuggly, then dimple it with your fingers and drizzle with more oil. Let this sit, lightly covered for two more hours. Then it’s time to decorate!
- Preheat your oven to 400.
- So, we’re just building a tree. You can honestly do this any way you want. I used the rosemary as the tree branches, fanned out in places. Slice a small piece of pear and use it as the tree base. Slice your cherry tomatoes in half, creating little “ornaments.” Do the same with the pearl onions. Peel and slice in half. Maybe a little bit of sliced pear for the tree topper? Anything works. Get creative!
