Categories     appetizer

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pound cream cheese
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup Cilantro Pesto, recipe follows
1 cup Tomato Salsa Cruda, recipe follows
1 cup Avocado Salsa, recipe follows
4 Italian Roma tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 to 2 serrano chilies, chopped
1/4 small onion, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 bunch fresh parsley, stemmed
1 bunch cilantro, stemmed
2 tablespoons toasted almonds
4 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 avocado, diced
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare the Cinco de Mayo Spread, select a springform pan or straightsided dish that is 5 to 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep. Line the bottom and sides with plastic wrap, smoothing out the plastic as much as possible.
  • Beat half the cream cheese with the milk, so it is easily spreadable. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Chill for 30 minutes. Spread the Cilantro Pesto evenly over the cream cheese and chill. Beat the remaining cream cheese with the Tomato Salsa Cruda and carefully spread it over the Cilantro Pesto. Chill for at least 4 hours. Place a serving platter on top of the springform pan and, holding the dishes with both hands, flip them over. Remove the springform ring and bottom. Gently pull the plastic wrap off. Just before serving, spoon the Avocado Salsa over the top of the spread. Serve immediately.
  • In a blender, place the tomatoes, chilies, onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend briefly, making sure the salsa remains rough. Store in a covered container, in the refrigerator, no more than 1 day.
  • Hand chop the garlic, parsley, cilantro, and almonds until fine. Combine with the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper until well mixed. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
  • Avocado: In a small bowl, mix the avocado, lime juice, onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator no more than 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Proof the Yeast: Make sure to proof the yeast before adding it to the dough. This will help to ensure that the bread rises properly.
  • Knead the Dough: Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and give the bread a chewy texture.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to develop the flavor of the bread.
  • Bake the Bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown. The bread should be cooked through and have an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).

Conclusion:

Cinco de Mayo bread is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for any celebration. With its colorful sprinkles and sweet flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special bread to make, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
