Asiago Cheese Bread, Excellent image

No fear...it's not as much work as it may seem. Lots of passive cooking time here. Great for hors-d'oeuvres with a little cheese spread, pate' or what-have-you! Terrific as bruschetta. This just may be the most-liked bread I make. A pre-shredded 3-cheese combination is also very good. I have no clue as to the provenance of this recipe, been making it for a while.

Time 3h20m

Yield 2 baguettes

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 3/4 cups flour
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter, cut up
1 1/4 cups asiago cheese, shredded
1 large egg

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and pepper. Melt butter in milk to 120-130 degrees. Stir milk mixture into flour mix until smooth. Stir in 1 cup cheese.
  • Gradually stir in about 2 cups flour to make soft dough. Knead in mixer or by hand until smooth and elastic, adding flour if needed.
  • Oil large bowl, add dough, turn to coat. Cover with clean damp towel and let double. (It may take 2-1/2 hours, must be the cheese.).
  • Punch down, form into 2 long thin loaves. Spray baking sheet, (sprinkled with cornmeal?) Or use baguette pans. Place loaves on pan, let raise, covered, until doubled (45 min.) Preheat oven to 375.
  • Slash dough with serrated knife. Brush with lightly beaten egg and sprinkle top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. (basil, parsley, opt.) Bake 30-35 minutes till done. Cool on rack.

The bread didn't rise as much as I thought it would. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The bread was a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter or milk to the dough.

This bread was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less Asiago cheese.

I made this bread for my family and they loved it! The cheese was melted and gooey, and the bread was soft and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
