HOMEMADE CHEESE BREAD - EXTRA SOFT



Homemade Cheese Bread - Extra Soft image

You only need a handful of basic ingredients to make homemade cheese bread. This soft buttery yeasted bread is twisted up with cheddar cheese, but you can use any cheese variety you love. Bake the bread in a loaf pan, then slice it to reveal the 2 cups of swirled cheese inside. See recipe notes for make ahead and freezing instructions.

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk, warmed to about 110°F
1/3 cup (80ml) water, warmed to about 110°F
2 and 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star (1 standard packet)
2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
5 Tablespoons (72g) unsalted butter, melted + slightly cooled
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups (390g) bread flour (spoon & leveled)*
2 cups (250g; 8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese (see note)
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley (or your favorite dried or fresh herb)*
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Whisk the warm buttermilk, warm water, yeast, and sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the butter, egg, salt, garlic powder, and 1 cup flour. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining flour. Beat on low speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. *If you do not own a mixer, you can mix this dough with a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula. It will take a bit of arm muscle!*
  • Keep the dough in the mixer and beat on low speed for an additional 2 minutes or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes. (See video tutorial above if you need a visual of kneading dough by hand.)
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1.5-2 hours or until double in size. (I always let it rise on the counter. Takes about 2 hours. For a tiny reduction in rise time, see my answer to Where Should Dough Rise? in my Baking with Yeast Guide.)
  • Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  • Punch down the dough to release the air. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 9×15 inch rectangle (approximately). Sprinkle cheese all over the top, leaving a 1/2 inch border uncovered.
  • Watch the video above to see exactly how I do this step. Tightly roll the dough into a 15-inch log. Place the log on its seam. Using a sharp knife, cut the log in half lengthwise. I find a serrated knife works best. Criss-cross one half, cut side down, on top of the other half- forming an X. Tightly twist the two together. Pinch the outer edges to seal as best you can. If you have any leftover cheese, cut a few small squares and tuck into the dough as shown in the video above. This is optional and simply for extra cheesy pockets! Place in prepared loaf pan and cover with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. (This step can get a little messy.)
  • Allow the covered loaf to rest for 30 minutes. It will slightly rise during this time.
  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any cheese or butter that may drip down. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Whisk the melted butter, herbs, and garlic powder together. Drizzle or brush on top of dough.
  • Bake until golden brown and, when gently tapped, the top of the loaf sounds hollow, about 45-55 minutes. If you find the top of the loaf is browning too quickly as it bakes, tent with aluminum foil. (I usually place foil on top after about 25 minutes.) Remove bread the oven and place on a wire rack. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and cool loaf on the wire rack.
  • Slice and serve. Cover and store leftovers at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Leftover slices taste delicious when warmed in the microwave for 10 seconds.

CHEESY BREADS



Cheesy Breads image

Of all the different appetizers I've made over the years, this one is always the first to go and it is SUPER easy to make. You can use either sweet or sour dough bread, both are tasty! I will usually assemble the Cheesy Breads the morning of the party on cookie sheets and cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge. When everyone has arrived at the party I just pop them in the oven and serve them piping hot! If you don't want the bread to be crunchy, broil them instead of baking them. I've tried them both ways and crunchy is better!

ALMOST-FAMOUS STUFFED CHEESY BREAD



Almost-Famous Stuffed Cheesy Bread image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 loaves (8 breadsticks each)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
1 tablespoon grated pecorino romano cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Whisk the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F) in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vegetable oil. Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a generously floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, dusting with more flour as needed. Form into a ball. Brush a large bowl with vegetable oil; add the dough, turning to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling and topping: Toss 1/2 cup mozzarella, the cheddar, pecorino, garlic salt, granulated garlic and dried parsley in a bowl. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put an inverted baking sheet in the oven; preheat for 10 minutes. Line another inverted baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with the cornmeal. Cut the dough in half; transfer 1 piece to the parchment-lined baking sheet and stretch into an 8-inch square (keep the other piece of dough covered). Sprinkle 1 side of the square with 1/2 cup of the remaining mozzarella, then fold the dough in half to enclose the cheese, pressing to seal. Slice the dough crosswise at 1-inch intervals, stopping just before the folded edge. Sprinkle with half of the cheese-garlic mixture. Move the dough to 1 side of the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, mozzarella and cheese-garlic mixture on the other side of the baking sheet. Slide the bread on the parchment onto the hot baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pull apart into breadsticks.

Provided by Tee Angel

Categories     Breads

Time 15m

Yield 30 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2-1 cup green onion, chopped (to taste)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to the point of being slightly melted (1/2 cup, 4 ounces)
1 -2 loaf bread, French, Italian (I used Ciabatta)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the cheeses and the green onion. Stir in the mayonnaise and sour cream. In a separate small bowl blend the butter and garlic until smooth. Add the butter mixture to the cheese mixture.
  • Preheat broiler. Slice loaf of bread in half horizontally, lay crust side down. Spread cheese mixture over the bread. Place under the broiler until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from broiler and let sit for 5 minutes until cool enough to handle. Slice the bread with a bread knife. Serve.
  • Makes 30 to 40 slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: For the best cheesy bread, use a bread that is slightly firm and has a good crust. This will help the bread hold up to the cheese and prevent it from getting soggy. Some good options include French bread, sourdough bread, or Italian bread.
  • Use plenty of cheese: Don't be shy with the cheese! Use a generous amount to ensure that each bite is cheesy and flavorful. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per 12-inch loaf of bread.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Don't just stick to one type of cheese. Try using a combination of different cheeses to create a more complex and flavorful cheesy bread. Some good options include cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Asiago cheese.
  • Add other ingredients: In addition to cheese, you can also add other ingredients to your cheesy bread to give it more flavor and texture. Some good options include garlic, herbs, spices, and cooked meats. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Bake the cheesy bread until it is golden brown: The cheesy bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Cheesy bread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a cheesy bread recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dish to make, give cheesy bread a try.
