Directions
Cheesy Garlic Italian Bread, An easy, tasty, flavorful bread that is started in the bread machine You may substitute any grated cheese you may have on hand Flour I feel should always be measured by weight 500 g of bread flour is 17 637 oz If you do not have a scale, it is about 4 – 4 1/2 cups of flour (But you should really get a scale!), I followed this recipe for the ingredients; used 4 cups of flour It still needed additional water to have the correct consistency in the bread machine on the dough cycle It needed more time to rise It needed more time to bake It turned out after baking it for an extra 5 minutes past the maximum stated time a barely discernable brown color, however the cheese was golden and browned, the bread was chewy and somewhat bitter in flavor I think I will, afterall, stick with my usual Italian bread recipe that I will make garlic spread to butter it with afterward Were I to make this bread again, I would leave out the herbs; they add a flavor that throws off the cheesy garlic flavor, I’d add a couple Tablespoons of honey, and add a Tablespoon of softened butter (so it would have olive oil and butter in equal amounts to make it a bit tenderer) Do be sure to stretch the dough without kneading And finally, to get the bread to brown more beautifully, brush milk over it just before baking , An easy, tasty, flavorful bread that is started in the bread machine You may substitute any grated cheese you may have on hand Flour I feel should always be measured by weight 500 g of bread flour is 17 637 oz If you do not have a scale, it is about 4 – 4 1/2 cups of flour (But you should really get a scale!)
