 Cheese and Wine Bread

 

Great with soup on a cold night... and easy to make!
 

3 cups 

 

flour (about)

 

1 package 

 

dry yeast

 

½ cup 

 

dry white wine

 

½ cup 

 

butter

 

2 tsp 

 

granulated sugar

 

1 tsp 

 

salt

 

3 large 

 

eggs

 

4 oz 

 

Monterey Jack cheese

 

 

1

In large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups of flour and the yeast.  Set aside.

2

In a saucepan, heat wine, butter, sugar and salt until warm (115 to 130 degrees- use a thermometer). Add to dry mixture in bowl. Add the eggs and beat at low speed for ½ minute, scraping the sides of the bowl; beat at high speed for 3 minutes. By hand, stir in cheese, and gradually add in just enough extra flour to make a soft dough.

3

Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease all surfaces. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1½ hours.

4

Punch dough down; cover and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into and 8" round loaf and place in a greased 9" pie pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.

5

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 40 minutes, covering with foil after the first 20 minutes.

 

Yield: One loaf

Cooking Tips:
  Try substituting Fontina cheese for Monterey Jack.
