Cheese Caraway Bread Recipes

CARAWAY BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine caraway seeds, salt, honey, yeast mixture, whole wheat flour and 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a round loaf; place on prepared pan. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°., Using a sharp knife, cut a large "X" in top of loaf. Bake on a lower oven rack 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.

SWISS & CARAWAY FLATBREADS

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Transfer to two greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 425°. Using fingertips, press several dimples into dough. In a small bowl, whisk melted butter, oil, onion, mustard, caraway seeds, Worcestershire sauce and, if desired, sherry until blended; brush over dough. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve warm. Freeze option: Cut cooled flatbreads into pieces. Freeze in freezer containers. To use, reheat flatbreads on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 425° oven until heated through.

CARAWAY CHEESE BREAD (TRADITIONAL)

Steps:

• (original ingredients for 2 loaves) Most of the ingredients were divided in half, but I used slightly less than half the amount of water so that I would not exceed the maximum of 3 cups of flour for my bread machine. (This also has the effect of intensifying the cheese flavor.) I also used slightly less than half the amount of yeast, because this bread rises very high and will overflow the pan if I dont use LEVEL teaspoons of yeast. The amount of salt was reduced slightly below half due to personal taste. >From: [email protected] (Bonnie Briscoe) From: Bread-Bakers Archives: ftp.best.com/pub/reggie/archives/bread/recipe

FARMHOUSE CHEESE AND CARAWAY SODA BREAD PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Make soda bread:
• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and caraway in a large bowl. Add buttermilk and butter. Stir just until dough is evenly moistened but still lumpy.
• Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and turn dough to coat with flour. Gently knead with floured hands about 8 times to form a soft but slightly less sticky dough.
• Form into a domed 6-inch round and put on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut a 1/2-inch-deep "X" across top of each loaf with a sharp knife. Using a small sieve, dust 1 tablespoon of additional flour over loaf.
• Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer loaf to a rack and cool completely.
• Make puddings:
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter ramekins or baking dish.
• Cut enough bread into 1-inch cubes to measure 3 3/4 cups (about half the loaf; reserve remaining bread for another use.) Divide bread among ramekins (or spread in larger baking dish).
• Whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in cheese and spoon over bread in ramekins or baking dish. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Put ramekins or baking dish in a larger baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins or dish.
• Bake until just set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer ramekins or dish from hot water bath to a rack and cool 20 minutes before serving.
