Just in case you have no idea what this recipe has to do with Midnight in Salem, here is an image I received from Her to help me identify the food items on sale at Lauren’s shop:
This was so fun to assemble! It really felt like I was making art because I painted the sauce on with a brush and arranged the toppings to fit the aesthetic I was going for. I added the fresh basil after the bread came out of the oven so it would keep its bright green color and make everything really pop. I could’ve gone for a normal pizza, but I just can’t say no to fresh mozzarella so I went Margherita.
My two complaints about the results I got were the lack of sauce and the thickness of the bread. I think if I made this again I would spoon the sauce onto the bread instead of painting it on, the sauce layer was just too thin. The bread (ciabatta) was fine once I got it in my mouth, but it was very challenging to cut, even with a heavy duty steak knife.
The pizza sauce recipe I followed was very good, but it felt less “from scratch” than I had hoped. The majority of the sauce came from a big can of crushed tomatoes, so it didn’t feel too different from just buying a can of sauce. Oh well, I tried.
-1 (15 oz) can of crushed tomatoes (I used a 12 oz can and was fine)
-2 tbsp chopped, fresh basil
-1 ½ tsp oregano
-Salt and pepper
Excited to be getting into some more MID recipes. Not my favorite Nancy Drew game, but it brought me a bunch of new cooking/baking opportunities and for that I’m grateful. Until next time, keep on cookin’!
“Pizza Bread” is the first recipe I’ve made based on the offerings at Lauren’s shop in Midnight in Salem. I’ve only made one other recipe for MID which you can find here.
To be honest, I’m not 100% sure what “pizza bread” is, so I just found a recipe for French bread pizza and called it a day. Hopefully that’s what Her was going for. This recipe is super simple so I added some self-imposed challenges to make things interesting. First, I went to a specialty Italian market (Eataly) so that I could get the most authentic ingredients possible. Second, I made the pizza sauce from scratch. In other words, I made a fun Saturday out of it! In the end I think my efforts were worth it because this was delicious and gorgeous to look at. A treat for the eyes and the stomach :)
I don’t think I need to go into crazy detail about the experience of eating pizza bread. If you’ve had pizza, it’s not much different, just thicker. This would be a great recipe for beginners, kids or guests at a party to make together. It’s extremely customizable and all of the ingredients are easy to find.
