Celebrity Cook-Along, Pillsbury Doughboy!

Hey everyone-Welcome to the Celebrity Cook-Along with the Pillsbury Doughboy! This month I invited you to make The Bake-Off's Tomato Topped Onion Bread Wedges with me or any other Pillsbury recipe.
 So, who picks a fresh tomato recipe when tomatoes aren't in season yet?
Oh yea, that would be me.

Earl was so excited to meet a celebrity as big as the Doughboy,
he was grinning from ear to ear!
Don't let the chef hat fool you, he couldn't boil a hot dog, er... make that water:@)

The star of the show:
Plan A was to use beautiful red Roma tomatoes... they were pale pink at the store. 
"Vine Ripened" weren't much better but that's what I bought.
I also used a green pepper I had on hand.
1. Topping cooked and cooling.
2. Crust ready for the oven.
3. Crust out of the oven.
4. Prepared Bruschetta.

Chow time!
Notes:
  • Because my tomatoes were sad I did add a teaspoon of sugar.
  • Red peppers (and tomatoes) would be a lot prettier.
  • If you taste the topping after mixing it you might think "hummm not amazing", but once added to the bread, it's very good!
  • I like this, do I like it more than fresh Bruschetta? Honestly no, but it's very good for out of season tomatoes.
***Don't forget to stop by Jo's blog LazyonLoblolly-HERE
she's having a fun Pillsbury Give-Away,

Ok, did you make this or something else? Link up and let's see:@)
Have a happy day!

    Lynn,
    Yes, the peppers and homegrown tomatoes would be more colorful, but this is lovely!
    Oh, and I forgot to mention....I will never forget getting stung by a bee while mowing. All of a sudden I saw this big fuzzy thing headed straight for my face and he stung me just below the eye. I was trying to mow and hold an ice pack to my face after that. That's where the self propelled feature comes in handy...

  18. Ricki TreleavenJune 14, 2011 at 6:17 PM

    I linked-up! Shelley, my thirteen year old daughter, wanted to help, so she picked a plain biscuit recipe. She over handled the dough a little, but overall they are good! I am proud of her!

    I think Earl would like them!

    That looks like it would make a nice horsdoeuvre too. I had hoped to be able to make my dish to share but this trip has been too busy. I am hoping to still share it when I get back. You'll probably faint when I actually do join in! xo

    I'm definitely copying this recipe down, it looks and sounds delicious! I've always loved making anything with Pillsbury Dough:-) I have a huge veggie garden (it just got planted this week so will be a while yet before anything is ready) and we always plant tomatoes and peppers so this recipe will be perfect to use them in!! I've had a crush on the Dough Boy since I was a young teen, even have a picture of me holding one when I got him for Christmas when I was 12 years old! hehe xox

    Where on earth did you find a chef's hat for Earl? That is so funny! Sorry, I'm a tad late but we had our little grandson all day yesterday :)

    That tomato topped onion bread sounds wonderful! That will be even more delicious with home grown tomatoes - yum.

    I was over at LazyonLoblolly and all the sudden remembered I was going to add stuff to your party. Glad I got in right on tiime before it closed.

    Glad to know who Earl is! Somehow his name never cemented in my memory, so I wondered who on earth she was talking about.
