Title: Muenster Bread
Categories: Breads, Cheese
Yield: 16 Servings
1/2 oz Active dry yeast (2 env)
1 c Milk; warm (115°F/46°C)
1/2 c Butter; softened
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Salt
3 3/4 c A-P flour
1 lg Egg; plus:
1 lg Egg yolk; room temperature
4 c Muenster cheese; shredded
1 lg Egg white; beaten
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Add butter, sugar, salt,
and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour
to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to
8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
In a large bowl, beat egg and yolk; stir in cheese. Punch down
dough; roll into a 16" circle.
Place in a greased 10" cast-iron skillet or 9" round baking pan,
letting dough drape over the edges. Spoon the cheese mixture into
center of dough. Gather dough up over filling in 1-1/2" pleats.
Gently squeeze pleats together at top and twist to make a topknot.
Let rise 10 to 15 minutes.
Brush loaf with egg white. Bake @ 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool
on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
