Stuffed Bread

0.5 oz Dry Active yeast (two packets)
1 tbsp honey
oil
1 1/4 tbsp salt
4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 - 2 cups warm water
herbs can be added (i used rosemary and thyme)
stuffing stuff- whatever the heck you want

First add honey and 1 tbsp oil to 1/2 cup warm water (about 105-110 degrees). Stir until honey is dissolved then add yeast. Set aside for about five minutes or until the yeast concoction has become frothy and active. Meanwhile mix dry ingredients (including herbs) in a well-oiled bowl. Add wet mixture to the dry mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir in another cup to cup and a half of warm water to the dough until most of the flour is incorporated and dough feels slightly sticky and moist. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until the dough is nicely elastic. If the dough is too wet simply add more flour during kneading. Place kneaded dough into a lg oiled bowl and cover with either oiled plastic wrap or a kitchen towl and place in a warm draft-free area. Allow the dough to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. While the dough is rising prepare stuffing, I used julienned roasted red peppers, smoked mozzerella, feta, parsley, and pepperoni. If you use a meat like pepperoni (aka full of fat) it's good to render some of the fat out first either in a skillet or microwave.

Separate the dough into two pieces, re-cover one piece and turn one piece out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands work the dough into a wide rectangle. Evenly spread out stuffing over rectangle, then roll the dough up, making sure to fold the edges in and seal all the edges. Place the loaf on to an oiled cookie sheet or floured peel and cover. Repeat with second portion of dough. Allow to rise for another 45 minutes then bake for 25-35 minutes or until the loaves look brown and crusty. Let cool for 15-20 minutes, then dive in with reckless abandon. Enjoy, and remember- practice makes perfect, but even imperfection can be damn tasty.
