Totally agree on the Kitchenaid. I find that I cook and bake a lot more with its help -- it just makes so many things much easier, even when I'm simply mixing a basic cake batter. I baked this flatbread the other day with the cheese chunks; I worked in some dried onion flakes and sprinkled more on top right before baking. The moisture in the dough worked on the dried onion on top, and I wound up with some lovely caramelized flakes on the surface. I am now cutting squares of the bread, then cutting the squares in half lengthwise. I layer thinly sliced ham in the middle, brush the outside top and bottom with olive oil, and grill them in my "George Grill" (which really is a pretty good panini press when you apply gentle pressure to the lid!) An excellent sandwich that makes a hearty lunch w/o heating up the kitchen. Thanks as always for these super recipes! Hmmm. The Fluffernutter pie may have to be next...oh, what a tough choice!
