Asiago Bread |
|
Serves: 24 Print this RecipeLow-Fat Prep: 25 min; Rise: 3 hr; Bake: 35 min When sliced, this large, flour-dusted loaf reveals cheese-lined pockets. Any full-flavored, firm, aged cheese works well. It’s a perfect bread for a country-style dinner as well as toasted for breakfast. 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups bread flour 1 teaspoon sugar 1 pound regular or quick active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp) 1 1/4 cups very warm water (120 to 130*) 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil 2 teaspoons dried rosemary or thyme leaves, if desired 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup diced Asiago Swiss cheese or other firm cheese 1/4 cup diced Asiago Swiss cheese or other firm cheese 1. Mix 1 1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar and yeast in large bowl. Add warm water. Beat with wire whisk or electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand about 1 hour or until bubbly. 2. Stir in oil, rosemary and salt. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft, smooth dough forms. Let stand 15 minutes. 3. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Knead in 1 cup cheese. Place dough in large bowl greased with shortening, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until double. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched. 4. Lightly grease uninsulated cookie sheet with shortening. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Gently shape into football-shaped loaf, about 12 inches long, by stretching sides of dough downward to make a smooth top. Place loaf with smooth side up on cookie sheet. Coat loaf generously with flour. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until almost double. 5. Place square pan, 8 X 8 X 2 or 9 X 9 X 2 inches, on bottom rack of oven; add hot water to pan until about 1/2 inch from the top. Heat oven to 450°. 6. Spray loaf with cool water; sprinkle with flour. Carefully cut 1/2-inch-deep slash lengthwise down center of loaf with sharp serrated knife. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese into slash. 7. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400°. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until loaf is deep golden and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.
