I love using peppers for cooking, the yellow, orange and red ones. But, I will not use green peppers, in my opinion they are unripe. I often buy a huge bag of peppers and add them to salads or roast them. I keep the roasted peppers in a jar with olive oil and fresh rosemary, so if you have any left over from this recipe, you can do the same.

Method:

- cover the bowl with cling film and leave to stand for 40 minutes
- remove the rosemary and the thyme and place the peppers and garlic into a blender
- pureé into a coarse texture
- reserve the oil for the left over pepper pureé or to use for cooking
- place the ingredients in the order listed into your bread maker and use the dough setting
- once the dough is done, take out and divide into two
- keep half aside for another day :)
- preheat your oven to 200º Celsius
- knead the other half for 5 minutes on a floured surface and then roll out into an oblong shape
- spread the roasted red peppers thinly and evenly on the dough
- working with the long side, roll up into a long roll shape
- cut into 2.5cm thick rounds and lay horizontally on a floured / lined baking tray (I used a pizza tray)
- cover loosely with lightly greased cling film (I sprayed mine with olive oil)
- and stand in a warm area until doubled in size, about 30 minutes
- brush the tops of the rolls with milk
- bake for 15 minutes and allow to cool on a rack before enjoying
