Oh bread how I love thee What's better than a nice fresh bread product straight from the oven? Not much. Especially when you love bread as much as I do. Ingredients:
crusty cheese batter bread |
this bread is even better toasted, which accentuates the cheesy flavor. |
1 1/4 cups milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 teaspoons salt, or 1 1/2 teaspoons if using fresh parmesan |
1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan or sharp cheddar cheese, or a mixture |
2 tablespoons dry yeast |
1 teaspoon sugar or honey |
1/2 cup warm water |
2 eggs |
5 1/2 cups unbleached white flour, approximately |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan scald the milk. Add the butter, honey, salt and grated cheese and let the mixture sit, after stirring well, until it is lukewarm. In a large bowl dissolve the yeast and teaspoon sugar or honey in the warm water. When bubbly, add the eggs and cooled milk mixture and beat.
2. Add about 3 cups flour and beat very thoroughly for 5 to 10 minutes. If time permits, cover the bowl and let the sponge swell for an hour or two. Stir it down and gradually add about 2 1/2 cups more flour, beating or stirring until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and holds together.
3. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size.
4. Stir down the dough and divide between two buttered 8 x 5 inch loaf pans (cutting it may be easier than pulling it apart).
5. Bake about 25 minutes, then remove loaves from their pans and put them directly on the oven rack for a few minutes more, or until they sound hollow when thumped on the bottom. Two medium loaves.
