It's a feeling of a rush you get when you finally get something done and done successfully! Yes, we have completed the Mega BM on Baking and we all managed to bake, eat and share 26 posts non stop this month. It was all about Fire'ing our oven and keeping the readers and family happy with the bakes.
Though I started a couple of weeks before the start, I somehow managed to have a cool ride the first two weeks. Then I scraped through the third and fourth and almost managed the last three posts as well. Imagine feeling lost on the last day!
Yes, things were not working my way and I almost thought I won't be able to bake this bread I had wanted. I had planned on baking Varada's Onion Bread and had got all the things to read. In fact, went overboard and got all three coloured bell peppers. Something or the other came up and I was not able to bake.
Something prompted me to knead the dough in the morning and ended up thinking that I might have to let it rise in the fridge. Luckily some work came up that delayed me leaving to the office and I made the best use of the time to bake it completely. The only hitch was, I wasn't around to click the final picture.
I requested Konda and Hubby dear to click for me and I was so impatient the whole day to get back to see the pictures. When I returned only a couple of slices were kept for me and I could in no way click how I had envisioned in mind. However, I was happy with whatever they clicked
As known, I didn't read through the recipe and after getting the onions and bell pepper on the stove, I realized I was sauteing them. I quickly read then and switched off after 5 mins of sauteeing. The vegetables were soft by then.
Also, this prevented me from adding the cheese directly to the filling. So allowed it to cool down and added it on top. The texture and the filling were so delicious and I really had a great dinner. The two slices were so filing as well. And I finally checked out the original link as well and realized that was with meat. Anyway, everything who eat this bread loved it and wanted a repeat!
Hope you had enjoyed all the bakes I did this month as much as I had. There was not a single bake that I didn't like. And we ended up with an ever more increased bookmark. We are planning to do the roundup shortly, so come back then.
I didn't read the recipe until I sautéed the filling. So I added the cheese in the end. I didn't have mozzarella cheese, so added sliced cheese and processed cheese.

Though you did not follow the recipe to the T, bread came out good and nice to know it was liked by everyone. Can't believe we did it. Well, I still have to do my intro for the last day but yes, we did it! Feels like summer exams are over and time for a vacation!

I have this bookmarked from Varada's space as well. Your bread looks amazing and love how colorful and cheesy it looks. Your daughter and husband have done an excellent job with the pictures.
It was an awesome marathon Valli. Thanks to you for organizing yet another successful one. I enjoyed all your bakes and I'm looking forward to the next mega marathon.
