Bread

You will have a tough time letting these cool as the smell is deliciously intoxicating. Fill with chunks of lobster or crab meat mixed with a little lemon, mayonnaise and fresh herbs. Or just eat hot out of the oven! 

Rolling a baguette seems like second nature now, but I can remember my first time like it was yesterday. I had a master bread-maker teaching me, and I was utterly hopeless, fumbling around – I’d compare it to the first time you try to drive a stick shift, and stall the car every time. It wasn’t until I completed a stage (that’s the culinary term for unpaid work experience) in a bakery, rolling hundreds of baguettes in a single night, that I was able to hone my skills.  It felt so good!

"In the evening, as we sit enjoying the wonderful smell of a peat fire, we catch up, sharing stories and listening intently as Uncle Charlie drifts between Irish and English. He leaves the room and we hear some noise in the kitchen, and out come the butter sandwiches."

Using a thin flatbread recipe (see Bread & Co.; Thin Flatbread Recipe), this flatbread is heartier you may want a slightly thicker flatbread so it can hold the toppings. You will need approximately 1/2 chicken breast per flatbread.
