List of Ingredients
1 cup cheddar cheese -- coarsely grated
1/2oz yeast -- proofed in 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 tsp honey
Recipe
In a large bowl, mix together sugar, salt, white and wheat flours. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and pour in the yeast mixture and honey. Beat and combine the liquid and the flour mixture. Then add the cheese and continue to mix. Finish mixing by squeezing the dough with your fingers.
Turn the mixture out onto a flat surface and knead lightly for about 2 minutes. Dust lightly with white flour, and turn the dough round and round with your palms. Shape it to fit an oiled pan 3 1/4 x 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 and place the dough in the pan. Let the loaf rise in a warm place until double in height.
Bake in a pre-heated 350° oven for 55 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and then turn right side up.
Yield:
"1 Loaf"
NOTES : This simple, savory bread makes a great gift or the perfect accompaniment to a green salad. Team with Chardonnay, Fume Blanc or Semillon.
