Artisan Breads Every Day - Soft Cheese Bread


And still more recipe results from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Bread Every Day.

Soft Cheese Bread

This is one of those breads I can't quit eating. The flavor is full bodied and astounding. This is no Wonder Bread! It needs no butter or any other spread to be good. I wish I knew better how to describe flavors!

This bread recipes calls for 6 1/4 cups of flour. I replaced 3 of those cups with whole wheat flour and increased the water by 1/4 cup. I also added 2 T of vital gluten. We prefer whole grains and this change was perfect to our tastes. I didn't have any chives so used only diced onions. (The recipe includes both options.) I grated Cheddar cheese.

The recipe makes two large loaves. I made one long freestanding loaf and two pans of spiral rolls. The rolls were perfect for wrapping up for gifts.

This easy to make bread will return to our table in future days.

  2. This looks delicious! I tried your way of twisting the cinnamon bread, and it turned out beautifully.
