Boost bread flavor with garlic, olive oil, and Asiago cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 5 to 5 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 packages regular active or fast-acting dry yeast (4 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 2 cups very warm water (120°F to 130°F)
  • 3/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese (3 oz)
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring often, until it just starts to brown. Remove from heat.
  • Combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Pour in very warm water and garlic-infused oil. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add cheese and gradually mix in enough additional flour until the dough is easy to handle.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and springy. Grease a large bowl with shortening or cooking spray, place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat all sides. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  • Prepare the cookie sheet by greasing it with shortening or cooking spray. Gently press your fist into the dough to deflate it, then divide the dough into quarters. Shape each quarter into a 6-inch round and place them smooth side up on the prepared cookie sheet. Using a serrated knife, cut a 1/2-inch-deep slash in the top of each round. Loosely cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Unwrap and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Transfer from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack and let cool, if preferred.
