Cheddar Cheese And Olive Bread Recipes

SAVORY QUICK BREAD WITH CHEESE AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder.
• Add eggs, oil, and wine and mix well. Add olives, red pepper, ham or bacon, cheese, and stir to combine. Taste for salt and pepper. ((keep in mind that the other ingredients are salty, so there is not much need of adding a lot)
• Place the batter into a loaf baking pan and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
• Allow it to cool, remove it from the pan and serve slices of it.

OLIVE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix salt and flour and set aside.
• Add water to a medium bowl, stir in sugar until dissolved and add yeast, let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes for the yeast to bloom. The water should be tap warm, not hot.
• Give the yeast mixture a stir and add it to the flour mixture, knead by hand or using a mixer. The dough will be a little sticky, but it should come off the walls of the bowl. If its still very, very sticky add ½ cup of flour. Knead until all flour is well combined, about 7-10 minutes. Cover the dough with a dry, clean kitchen towel, put it in a warm place and let it rise for 1-2 hours.
• To speed this process, I usually turn the oven to 300F and place the bowl on top of the stove or close to the stove, since its warmer.
• Once the dough tripled in size, sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and knead it for 1 minutes. Let it rest on the working surface for 10-15 minutes and using a rolling pin dusted with flour roll it into a circle or oval shape. The dough must be 1/2 inch thick.
• Spray a loaf pan with baking spray and set aside.
• Top the dough disc with the Black Olive Bruschetta spread 2 inches from the sides, followed by minced garlic and shredded cheddar cheese. Roll the dough into a loaf and transfer to the loaf pan.
• Let it rest for another hour or 1 1/2 hours. The loaf will double in size.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Using a kitchen brush, spread the melted butter on top of the loaf and bake for 45 - 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean.
• Top with the melted mozzarella cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Watch it closely not to burn the cheese.
• Remove bread from oven and let it cool in the pan for one hour.
• Remove from pan, slice and enjoy.

OLIVE AND CHEESE LOAF

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast; stir in cheese and olives. Add water and, using a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds, adding additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and surface becomes dotted with bubbles, 12 to 18 hours.
• Generously flour work surface; scrape dough onto work surface. Lightly flour hands, a bowl scraper, or a spatula and lift edges of dough toward the center. Nudge and tuck edges of dough to make round.
• Place a piece of parchment paper on work surface and generously dust with flour. Gently place dough on parchment, seam-side down. If dough is tacky, lightly dust top with flour. Cover dough loosely with wax paper and two clean kitchen towels. Let dough stand in a warm, draft-free spot until almost doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Gently poke dough with your finger; dough should hold the impression. If it springs back, let rise 15 minutes more.
• Ten minutes before dough has finished rising, preheat oven to 475 degrees on a conventional oven (450 degrees on a convection oven) with a rack in the lower third. Place a covered 3 1/2-quart cast-iron or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven (with plastic handle removed and screw hole plugged with aluminum foil) in center of rack.
• Using pot holders, carefully remove preheated Dutch oven from oven and uncover. Uncover bread and loosen bottom with a large spatula. With the aid of the parchment paper, invert bread into preheated Dutch oven so that it is seam-side up. Cover Dutch oven and transfer to oven; bake for 25 minutes.
• Uncover and continue baking until bread is dark brown but not burnt, 15 to 30 minutes more. Using a heatproof spatula or pot holders, gently lift bread from Dutch oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

• In your mixer bowl, add 1 1/4 cup of the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast mixture, milk, olive oil and salt and pepper. Using the paddle attachment, mix well.
• Add the olives and cheddar cheese to the mixer and continue mixing. Switch to the hook attachment.
• Add the remaining all purpose flour and mix for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough is nice and firm.
• Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until doubled in size, for about an hour.
• Punch down the dough and place it on a floured surface. Knead it slightly a couple times, then roll it out into a long rectangle.
