Five Onion Foccacia And Roasted Vegetable Sandwich

There are basically two ways to read the Bible — as a book of law, or as a book of promise. Our natural religious psychology wants to read the Bible as law: “God is explaining here how I can win his favor.” A law-hermeneutic is the pre-understanding we naturally bring to our Bible reading, every page. But in Galatians 3 Paul explains that he reads the Bible as a book of promise, and he wants us to as well. He sees every page of the Bible as gracious promise from God to undeserving sinners. Is there law in the Bible? Yes. But it was “added” (v. 19). Law was inserted after the promises to Abraham were established. It is promise that comes first (Genesis 12), then law comes later (Exodus 20). It is promise, therefore, that defines the all-encompassing framework within which we are to read everything else in the Bible... Every page [in the Bible], most deeply understood, shines forth as a promise of grace to sinners in Christ.

INSTRUCTIONS

EMERIL LIVE SHOW #EMIA05  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a saut
pan, heat the olive oil.  When the oil is hot, add the onions, leeks,
and shallots. Saut for 15  minutes, or until the onions are
caramelized. Stir in the garlic.  Season with salt and pepper. Remove
from the heat. Using an electric  mixer with a dough hook, whisk the
yeast, sugar, and warm water  together, for 2 minutes to dissolve the
yeast. Add the onions  mixture. Add the salt and flour. With the mixer
on low, mix until the  dough starts to come together. Increase the
speed to medium-high and  mix until the dough comes away from the sides
of the bowl and crawls  up to dough hook. Grease a mixing bowl with the
vegetable oil. Place  the dough in the greased bowl and turn once.
Cover the bowl with  plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free place
until the dough  doubles in size about 1 1/2 hours. Turn the dough out
onto a baking  sheet. Punch the dough abd press the dough out to form
the size of  the pan. Place dough in pan and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Cover the  dough and allow to double in size, about 45 minutes. Bake
the dough  for 30-35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Slice
the bread  into 8 to 12 pieces, depending on desired size of the
sandwich.  Divide the roasted vegetables between the sandwiches. Spread
each  piece of foccacia with the aioli. Build each sandwich, using all
the  vegetables and cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and
place in the oven. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sandwiches
are hot and the cheese is melted.  Yield: 4-6 sandwiches  Posted to
