List of Ingredients




1 1/4 cups warm water
2 packages active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 3/4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg + 1 yolk
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp chervil
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Black peppercorns, cracked
paprika
Finely grated parmesan




Recipe



Place 1/2 cup warm water in large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Add remaining water, sugar, pepper, salt, and 1 cup flour; blend well. Stir in egg and egg yolk, chervil, parmesan cheese, and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turn. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Punch dough. Remove dough to lightly floured board and divide into 3 equal pieces. Gently roll each piece to 12-inch rope, then braid ropes. Place on greased baking sheet. Pinch each end to seal. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Brush loaf with egg white. Sprinkle with cracked pepper and paprika, if desired. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. If desired, sprinkle with more parmesan cheese immediately after removing from the oven. Remove from sheet; let cool on wire rack.
