Pizza Toast with Homemade No Knead Bread

For the Bread:

• 1 teaspoon active yeast (check ingredients that it’s just yeast!)
• 2 teaspoon salt (I’ve used pink salt, kosher, and maldon) 
• 3 cups all purpose flour 
• 1.5 cups of room temperature water (I do slightly warmer than room temp because our well water and kitchen is colder!)

For the Pizza Toast:

• Handful of cherry tomatoes
• Brightland Alive Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ½ bulb of fennel - thinly sliced
• ½ red onion - thinly sliced 
• Butter 
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese - for topping
• Flat leaf parsley - for topping 
• Brightland Pizza Oil

For the Bread:

1. Mix yeast and salt. Add four and mix well. Add water and combine (I start with a wooden spoon then use my hands).
2. Place into a bowl and cover with a tea towel. Let rise for 12-18 hours.
3. Bake in a 450 degree oven in a parchment lined Dutch oven, first covered for 20 minutes, then ten minutes with the lid removed.

For the Pizza Toast:

1. Coat cherry tomatoes generously with Brightland Alive Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a few pinches of salt. Broil until blistered and charred. 
2. In a small pan, saute / caramelize thinly sliced fennel, and red onion. 
3. When ready to assemble, generously butter a thick slice of your favorite bread, toasted. Layer first with tomatoes and smash them down with a fork. Pile on onion and fennel. Coat with lots of parm, flat leaf parsley, and finish with Brightland Pizza Oil!
