Grocery List
  • ¼ c. water
  • 1 pkg. or 2½ tsp. yeast
  • ¾ whole milk
  • 1 c. water
  • 5-6 cups unbleached flour (I use about 5¼)
  • 1 T. salt (I use kosher)
  • 2 T. sugar
  • ¾ each of sharp Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese (or all Cheddar)
  • ¼ c. shredded fresh Parmesan
Here's how...
  1. Dissolve yeast into warm water (110 to 115 degrees). Let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve and get foamy.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm milk and 1 c. water just to warm. Don't let it get hot or it will kill the yeast.
  3. In a separate bowl, add flour, salt, and sugar and mix well.
  4. Pour the yeast mixture in and add the warm milk and water as well. Let the mixer (dough hook) knead for 4-5 minutes or knead by hand on a floured surface for 8 minutes or until the dough is smooth adding a bit more flour as needed to get a smooth, elastic dough.
  5. Set the ball of dough into a buttered bowl and turn it to butter all sides. Set it in a warm place to let it rise until doubled in size, at last an hour and a half.
  6. Butter two loaf pans and shred the cheeses to equal 1½ cups plus ¼ c. Parmesan.
  7. Smush all the cheeses into the dough the best you can.
  8. Punch the dough down and separate into two equal-sized pieces. Shape them into loaves, tucking the ends under and place them into the buttered loaf pans.
  9. Let them rise again until doubled.
  10. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
  11. Let cool for ten minutes and then remove from pans to let them cool on a wire rack.
