Chunks of cheese-decadently & artfully tossed o'er the dough-will have your family grappling for the pan before it's out of the oven! Dip this into potato soup or clam chowder for a scrump-dillicious flavor explosion OR toast the slices and use for ham sandwiches with the cheese baked right in the dough. Marcy Goldman *Passion For Baking* came up with this recipe and says that THIS recipe is worth the price of her book! I agree and you will too. NOTE: Prep time includes TWO RISINGS-plan ahead!!! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water |
2 tablespoons yeast |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup oil |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
5 cups flour (and a bit extra) |
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
2 cups cubed cheddar cheese (scant) |
2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter) |
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (we like spike ) |
Directions:
1. Generously grease two loaf pans; set aside.
2. In mixing bowl, whisk water and yeast, let rest 2-3 minutes.
3. Then whisk in sugar, salt, mustard, eggs, oil, butter, then stir in HALF the flour.
4. Begin kneading with dough hook on LOW for 5-8 minutes, adding more flour to make a soft elastic dough; form into ball in mixing bowl-spritz dough with oil spray, cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise for 30 minutes.
5. Turn out dough on lightly floured table, punch down gently.
6. Divide dough in half; press each half into an oval; sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over each oval, press into dough, then roll each oval into a jelly roll.
7. Cut each roll into THICK slices, then in half again (odd shaped chunks of dough).
8. Arrange chunks in prepped loaf pans; scatter cubed cheese over dough chunks; drizzle oil or butter over this, sprinkle on the seasoned salt.
9. Cover pans with plastic wrap, let rise in warm spot 30-45 minutes (quite puffy).
10. Preheat oven to 350. Bake loaves until browned and sizzling-cheese will be melted-about 35-40 minutes.
11. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove and serve.
