PARMIGIANO "MONKEY BREAD" WITH SOPPRESSATA AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with cooking spray.
• Separate the biscuits, cut them in half and roll each piece into a ball.
• Add the dough balls, cheese, soppressata, olive oil, olives, basil, chile flakes and some salt and pepper to a bowl and fold together until everything is fully combined. Put the mixture in the prepared pan.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked and risen, about 30 minutes. Allow the bread to rest for 10 minutes before serving (out of the mold or in the mold works).

PASTA POMODORO FOR TWO

Steps:

• Puree the tomatoes using an immersion blender or food processor. Set aside.
• In a saucepot over medium heat, combine the olive oil, pepper flakes and garlic. Gently toast the garlic until golden brown, being careful not to burn it. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer; simmer 5 to 8 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
• Add the pasta to the pot with the sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the butter, half of both cheeses and half of the basil and cook, tossing frequently, until the pasta is nicely coated. Season with salt if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, top with the remaining cheese and basil and drizzle with olive oil.

COUNTRY WHITE BREAD OR DINNER ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients from flour through yeast in order as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select the basic bread setting.
• Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing, if needed add 1-2T of water or flour.
• Bake as normal.
• For dinner rolls.
• Mix in bread machine but use only the dough option.
• Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking pan (I always use a metal pan).
• When dough is finished shape into 15 uniformly sized balls. I always grease my hands with shortening to smooth the dough out and it helps keep the dough from drying out.
• Cover and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft free place until risen to the desired size.
• I let them about double in size.
• Bake in a 350° oven about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
• After removing from the oven, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
• Take out of pan and let completely cool before storing.
