Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR BREAD
3 1/4 c flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 c warm water
1 Tbsp olive oil
FILLING
1/2 medium onion sliced
1 green bell pepper julienned
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 thin sliced blade steaks
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp caraway seeds
1/4 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp butter
mozzarella cheese, shredded or slices

Steps:

1. Mix flour, salt, sugar and yeast... add water and olive oil, mix well and knead for about 5 minutes
2. Let dough rise 1 hour (I use the microwave its warm and cozy in there)
3. fold dough and knead after first rise, let rise another hour... turn out dough and separate into 4 sub size rolls.
4. Bake at 450 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown, brush with melted butter immediately.
5. saute onions, bell peppers in olive oil
6. when translucent and slightly browned remove and set aside
7. slice steak into strips across the grain... it works well if you roll up the meat to slice
8. add seasonings to meat and brown in the same pan that was used for the onions and peppers until all of the liquid cooks down, toss with the butter, onion and pepper mixture and set aside
9. slice ciabotta rolls, butter top and bottoms and use same pan again to toast the bread
10. load bread with meat mixture
11. top with mozzarella cheese
12. broil in oven until the cheese starts to brown and gets all bubbly, melty and happy. put on sandwich top and ENJOY!!! :)
