Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
- Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- : Seenote; lightly spray a ripe red pepper with release spray and rub it around with your finger to coat the entire surface. Roast the pepper directly in the flames of a gas stove, turning them with tongs until the entire outside of the pepper is blackened. You do not want to cook the peppers too much so do this as quickly as your range will allow. You can also do this under a broiler, on the grill or with any type of blowtorch, but my range is more handy.. : In a large frying pan or skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until browned and crispy. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels and coarsely chop. Set aside. Add the onion to the reserved bacon drippings along with the olive oil. Stir to coat the onions evenly with the oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a golden brown, about 20 minutes. NOTE: in this prior step it is important that the onions get browned and that most to all of the liquid is fryed out. Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in the salt, pepper, roasted red peppers, black olives and chopped rosemary. Stir in the crumbled bacon. Set aside. In the work bowl of a food processor, using the plastic dough blade, combine 3 1/2 cups of flour and the sauteed onion/red pepper mixture. Add the yeast, eggs and the parmesan cheese and combine thoroughly. With the machine still running, add the water slowly until the mixture begins to pull together and forms a ball. Note: that is "begins to pull together", this will not be a rounded ball of dough. If the dough is too sticky, add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time. Process until the dough cleans the sides of the work bowl, then knead for approximately 1 minute longer. The dough should be smooth and elastic and bounce back when pressed with your finger. Place the dough into a lightly oiled freezer type plastic bag, and put in a warm place to double in volume, about 1 hour.(1 gallon bag for each loaf, freeze one, and continue with the other.) Remove the dough
