For all the fans of the 49ers and Chiefs, next Sunday is about the big game. For those of us who supported other teams this season (Bengals fan here!)? Well, at least we can all agree on the snacks. This is not a time for salad; a football game calls for stadium foods.Creamy, cheesy, spicy dipsare non-negotiable, and they're even better if youmake your own pita chips. Hot dogs are definitely fair game, and if they're baked right into the bun (see:Scallion Sesame Hot Dog Buns), it's much easier to eat while you shake your fist at a ref. Burritos and tacos fit the bill, and our new recipe for50/50 Corn and Flour Tortillas(made with our spectacularmasa harina) can handle either. But what they're really great for isOven Quesadillas for a Crowd, a recipe that allows you to make six quesadillas at once without missing a single play, commercial, or Taylor Swift appearance. Another option for a crowd:Garlic Bread Pizza, a mash-up of garlic bread and French bread pizzas. It uses prepared, intensely flavorfulgarlic oiland ciabatta you can eithermakeor buy, so you'll get four pizzas with almost no fuss. Double the recipe if you're hosting a crowd. Triple it if you're feeding an entire football team. (Note to self: Check how many people are on a football team.) Feeding just one or two?Small-Batch Cheesy Focacciamight be the answer. And this recipe comes with a bonus: aYouTube video! If the game turns into a blowout, you can watch it quietly on your phone — sometimes, the baked goods can be even more interesting than the game. |
