List of Ingredients
BREAD
4 1/2 to 5 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/4 C. sugar
1 tsp salt
2 pkg. active dry yeast (regular)
1 C. milk
1 C. water
1/2 C. butter
2 eggs
2 T. sesame seed (I use about 1/4 C.)
FILLING
4 ox. (1 C.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning (dried oregano, basil work good)
1/4 t. garlic powder (or 1/2 tsp garlic salt)
1/4 C. butter, softened.
Recipe
1. In large bowl, combine 2 1/2 C. flour, sugar, salt & yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat milk, water and 1/2 C. butter until very warm (to activate yeast mixture). Add warm liquid & eggs to flour mixture. Beat about 3 minutes till smooth. By hand, stir in remaining 2 to 2 1/4 C. flour to form a stiff batter (I do this whole recipe by hand).
2. Generously grease 12-cup Bundt or 10" tube pan; sprinkle with sesame seed (I spray my pan with cooking spray). Combine all filling ingredients, mix well.
3. Spoon half of batter into greased pan; spoon filling mixture evenly over batter to within 1/2" of sides of pan. Spoon remaining batter over filling. Cover loosely with plastic wrap & cloth towel. Let rise in warm place, until light, about 30 min.
4. Heat oven to 350. Uncover dough and bake 30-40 minutes until golden and loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. (I cool for about 5 min. then invert it onto my serving plate.)
