Sorry I've left you hanging - I tried to post this before, but the site was down for maintenance or something. First, I'll give you the Asiago cheese bread (It takes like the Au Bon Pain Asiago cheese bagels, I've been told) and I'm trying something new for dinner, so tune in tomorrow for the break down of that.
Asiago Cheese Bread
As noted before, this bread dough was made in a bread machine, on the dough setting. Please contact me for the hand made recipe - it DOES differ. That being said, here we go!
Ingredients:
1 1/3 c. water
4 c. bread flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp yeast (active rapid rise for bread machines)
1/2 lb asiago cheese, shredded
Directions: As stated before, my bread machine calls for wet ing. to be added first, followed by dry. Then you add a the yeast to a well in the middle - without touching the water. Add your ingredients the way that your machine stipulates.
Add water to bread pan, followed by all dry ingredients except yeast. Make well in center (not touching water) and add yeast. Place pan in bread machine and start dough setting. Read a book until it's finished :)
Now, I don't have pictures, but, minus the pepperoni & etc, it's exactly the same as the pepperoni roll. So you can follow those pictures.
1) Shape dough into ball
2) Separate into two even sized loaves (there is enough dough to do three, but they are sad and small, I recommend two)
3) Roll out each ball to a rectangle, approx. 7x3.
4) Fold in half, and in half again. Press down. Let rest ( I do one ball, and it gets to rest while I roll the other.) Repeat twice.
5) Roll and stretch each piece to form an 11 inch loaf of bread.
6) Place bread in a greased pan, cover with a damp towel and put in a warm place - let rise for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size. (preheat oven: 450)
7) Lightly coat the top of each loaf with olive oil (LIGHTLY - seriously.)
8) Bake bread at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding when knocked on. Allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Enjoy :)
