Recipe Introduction


Bridge Italian Restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee


List of Ingredients




Brooklyn Bridge Cheese Bread



3 lb. fresh bread dough or frozen dough

½ tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Pepper

all-purpose flour

½ c. shortening (room temperature)

½ lb sliced Italian salami, cubed

½ lb. cheddar cheese (sharp or mild) cubed

½ lb. Provolone cheese, cubed



If you are using frozen dough, defrost thoroughly and let rise. Place dough on a floured board, add salt, pepper, salami and cheese, then knead into the dough. Add shortening. Grease a round tube pan with shortening. Shape dough around hole in center of pan. Cover with a dish towel and place in warm area to rise. When dough has doubled, punch down and place in a preheated 350 degree oven, bake for 45 minutes. Shut off oven and leave in for another 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan after taking out of the oven. Serve warm or at room temperature. (To prevent a messy oven, put a cookie sheet with sides under pan while baking.)
