Ingredients
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 4 tbsp softened butter
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup dry milk
- 1/3 cup vermont cheese powder
- 4 tsp pizza dough flavor
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 1/3 cup shredded cheese; pizza blend
- 2 1/2 tbsp melted butter
Preparation
Step 1
1. Combine water, butter, unbeached flour, wheat flour, sugar, dry milk, cheese powder, dough flavor, salt, onion powder and instant yeast in the bowl of an electric bread maker. Meanwhile, lightly grease a 9x5" loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment or foil. Grease the foil or parchment paper.
2. Divide dough into 1" pieces, about 64 total. Place dough pieces in the bottom of the pan, putting them close together. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the shredded cheese. Drizzle or brush with some of the melted butter.
3. Place another 16 pieces of dough atop the first layer. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese and drizzle or brush with some more of the melted butter. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, making two more layers. Brush the top layer with butter, but dont sprinkle with cheese.
4. Cover the pan and let the bread rise for 30-60 mins, until it's slightly crowned over the rim of the pan. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350F.
5. Bake the bread for 20 mins. Tent it lightly with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15-20 mins, until and instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 190F.
6. Remove the bread from the oven and immediately loosen the edges with a table knife or heatproof spatula. Wait 2 mins, and turn it out of the pan onto a baking sheet. Carefully turn it right side up, sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/3 cup cheese, and return it to the oven for about 2 mins, just until the cheese softens and starts to melt.
