Instructions

Caesar Salad

  • heat 1 cup water in microwave. Heat until boiling. Add sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain. Place romaine, tomatoes, and olives into a large bowl. Toss well. Set aside.

Caesar Dressing

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Parmesan-Garlic Baguettes

  • Heat 1 1/2 cups water until warm but not boiling (about 1 minute on high in the microwave). Add warm water, flour, gluten and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. (See notes for hand kneading.) Add yeast.
  • Fit mixer with the dough hook attachment. Mix on low speed 3-5 minutes or until a dough ball is formed and cleans the sides of the bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Lightly dust work surface with flour. Turn dough out onto work surface. Divide in half.
  • Lightly grease baguette pan or line a baking sheet with parchment. Working with one half at a time, roll into a rectangle about 6 X 10. Starting at one of the long ends, roll into a log, pinching at the seam to seal. Fold ends under and pinch to seal. Place in prepared baguette pan or on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with other half.
  • With a sharp knife, slice several diagonal cuts into the surface of each log, no more than 1/4 inch deep.
  • Spread butter evenly over tops of dough. Sprinkle with parmesan. Lightly press parmesan down into butter.
  • Bake bread at 450 for 20-25 minutes or until browned. Tapping on the surface of the bread should produce a hollow sound when done. Allow to cool before slicing. Slice into 4, 6 inch baguettes. Slice each baguette in half lengthwise, as for sandwiches.

Chicken

  • Add chicken and half the dressing to a glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Discard any unused dressing. Slice chicken into slices.

Sandwiches

  • Arrange chicken on bottom halves of bread. Top with salad. Drizzle with dressing. Top with tops of bread.
