Preparation

Step 1


Directions:

In 6-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until garlic just begins to brown. Remove from heat.

In large bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast. Add very warm water and garlic with oil. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in cheese and enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

On lightly floured surface, knead dough 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Divide dough into quarters. Shape each quarter into 6-inch round. Place each round with smooth side up on corner of cookie sheet. Cut 1/2-inch-deep slash in top of each round with serrated knife. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

Heat oven to 375°F. Remove plastic wrap. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool if desired.
