In a covered food processor container, process bread until crumbly;
set aside. Add red pepper, garlic and salt to container. Cover and
process until smooth. With the processor running, gradually add oil

Remove seeds. Place pepper halves, cut side down, on a foil-lined
baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, in a 425 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes
or until the skin is bubbly and brown. Place peppers in a clean
paper bag; seal and let stand for 20 to 30 minute or until cool
enough to handle. Pull off skin gently and slowly, using a paring
knife.
