Try this wonderful alternative to garlic bread with your next spaghetti dinner. It is similar to cheese focaccia. The recipe is from Pillsbury's Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook. Just recently I made it using the Chipotle-Herb Butter from Grilled Salmon With Chipotle-Herb Butter and it was awesome too. Lots of possiblities if you use your imagination. Ingredients:
2 1/2-3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast |
3/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
2 tablespoons chopped onions |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (1 cup) |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast; mix well.
2. In 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine milk, water and 2 tablespoons butter.
3. Microwave just until water is very warm (120 to 130°F) (not much more than a minute should do it).
4. Add warm liquid to flour mixture; mix well.
5. Stir in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour to form a stiff dough.
6. On lightly floured surface, knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes.

8. Let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
9. Grease two 9-inch round cake or pie pans.
10. Divide dough in half; pressing each half in greased pan.
11. In a small bowl, combine topping ingredients, mixing well.
12. Spread mixture over dough.
13. Prick tops generously with a fork.
14. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
15. Cover again as above and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
