What doesn't he like? The chilies? Or the garlic? Or the vinegar?
Here's a cheesy bread that I "made up". These days I let the bread
machine make the dough. Then, depending on the final use either put it
in loaf pans or form baguettes or French/Italian loaves on a sheet pan.
1 c Warm water; 125-|F/52-|C
2 tb Olive oil
3 c Unbleached flour
2 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Italian seasoning mix
1/4 ts Garlic granules
1 Packet cheese mix from a box
- of generic Mac & Cheese.
1 pk Active dry yeast
Cornmeal
1 Egg white; beaten
Place ingredients except cornmeal & egg white in bread
machine pan according to manufacturer's directions.
Process on dough setting.
Sprinkle ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal. At end
of dough cycle, remove dough from machine; place on a
lightly floured surface. Punch down dough (If dough
is sticky, knead in additional flour before shaping).
Shape dough into baguette-shaped loaf about 12" long.
Place loaf on cornmeal-coated sheet. Cover; let rise
in warm place, 80-85-|F/27-29-|C, for 20-25 minutes or
until light and doubled in size.
Or you can use a regular 9" X 5" loaf pan(s).
Heat oven to 375-|F/190-|C. With a sharp knife, make
one deep lengthwise slash in top of loaf. Brush loaf
with egg white.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow
when lightly tapped.
Makes one 12 slice loaf.
NOTE: You can also let the bread machine do the baking
for you - but the loaf won't look "rustic". It will, of
course, taste just as good. - UDD
