This is a unique no knead cheese bread from a bread recipe group. Really comes out tasty and delcious. Note the unique heating of the pans before the loaf gets placed in the preheated pans prior to baking Ingredients:
1 tablespoon yeast (instant or quick-rise) |
1 tablespoon kosher salt (or 2 tsp. table salt) |
2 cups lukewarm water (16 oz.) (about 100-115 degrees) |
4 cups plus 2 tbsp. and 1 tsp. (1 lb. 5-1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour |
8 oz. extra sharp orange cheddar cheese, (4 oz. diced, 4 oz. shredded) |
2 glass 1-1/2 quart 5 x 9-inch glass loaf pans, one inverted on top of |
the other and 1 loaf pan to place the dough in with parchment paper after rising |
Directions:
1. Prep does not include rising times
2. In a large bowl place the yeast, salt and 2 cups of warm water.
3. Stir until dissolved.
4. Add flour and cheese and mix well either by hand or mixer. It will be a thick, gooey batter-like dough.
5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise for 2 hours (or up to 5 hours).
6. After rising, stir down dough and pour into a bread pan lined with
7. parchment paper.
8. Place covered glass loaf pans (one inverted on top of the other) in an oven and set the oven temperature to 450 degrees.
9. When the oven temperature reaches 450 degrees, set timer for 30 minutes.
10. At the end of that time, remove the top pan (do not remove it from the oven), lift the dough by the parchment paper edges and place in the pre-heated pan.
11. Again invert the glass pan and place it on top of the dough.
12. Bake for 30 minutes at 450.
13. Ovens vary, so if you have a meat probe thermometer, stick it in the bread at the end of 30 minutes once the cover is removed.
14. The bread is done when it reaches 170 degrees.
15. Note: You can eliminate the cheese and just make it a plain bread.
16. It's delicious either way!
