List of Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water (110 degrees F.)
- 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground coarse black pepper (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cups bread flour
- 3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting and press start. When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. Form dough into an oval, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. Fold dough into an envelope by folding the top 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Then fold the bottom a 1/3 of the way over the top. Then press dough with the palm of your hand to make an indentation down the center of the dough and fold the top completely to the bottom, sealing the seam with the palm of your hand.
- Place on a jelly roll pan dusted with cornmeal; cover and place in a warm spot to rise for approximately 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- After dough has risen, slash the bread with a very sharp knife making three 1/2-inch deep diagonal slashes. Brush the top of the bread with cold water and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned. (A good check is to use an instant thermometer to test your bread. The temperature should be between 200° and 210°F.)
