Getting silly with the bread machine
Ever since ordering a copy of "Rustic European Breads for your Bread Machine" I've been having a ball trying out a new recipe every few weeks. Last weekend I got a bit silly - this is pan de soliel, 'sun bread', made with parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes and pepper. It's missing two rays that got eaten before I could take a photo!
Not as tasty as a focaccia, but much more fun to eat.

Not only does it look like fun but it must have a sunny colored crumb as well! I can see this at my next picnic!

Yes, perfect for a picnic or a party :)
Looks like a distant relative of fougasse - another fun bread just for snacking.

Yes it's a similar composition to fougasse, but the crumb is drier and almost "crisp." It definitely needs a dip or something moist to eat it with, but has a good peppery kick to it. Doesn't keep well, it was pretty stale the next day but was OK dipped in a rich tomato sauce.
That's definitely a party bread! Parm, sun dried tomatos and pepper dipped in sauce, YUM!
