Classic(ish) Bruschetta
People commonly say that they love making bread in their thermo mixer. It's so warm, delicious and fresh. Alas, due to the lack of preservatives it is really only fresh on the day that it was made. Never fear - it's perfect for bruschetta, and bruschetta is perfect for bringing a plate! This recipe and the two following are three beautiful options for a fresh and tasty bruschetta. You may know that chopping tomatoes in your thermo mixer can lead to a bit of a mess, but we have found that deseeding your tomatoes before chopping leads to a great result. This recipe is classic(ish) as we've tried to keep it budget friendly by using grated tasty cheese rather than buffalo mozzarella.
