Asiago Cheese Bread Updated Recipe
- 9 ounce water
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 3 ounce Asiago cheese finely shredded, (1 C lightly packed)
- 1 ounce Parmesan Cheese shred, or possibly Romano, (generous 1/3 C)
- 1/2 Tbsp. Caraway Seeds (optional)
- 1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
- 2 3/4 c. flour">bread flour or possibly unbleached flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine in order listed, or possibly in the order recommended for your machine.
- (I usually toss the grated cheese with the cornmeal before adding it to the pan, to decrease clumping.)
- Set controls for Basic bread with medium crust and start machine.
- Makes one 1.5-lb.
- loaf.
- NOTE: This bread makes wonderful garlic toast.
- After cutting it, spray very lightly with extra virgin olive oil from your EcoPump, then sprinkle generously with granulated garlic pwdr.
- Toast in oven till as brown as you like it.
- (The rainforest-friendly EcoPump is a spray bottle which you fill half-way with oil, then pump in air using the special top-like a bicycle pump-so you get the benefits of a fine aerosol mist without any chemicals.
- If you cannot find one where you live, contact California Extra virgin olive oil Corp., I'm not related to this company in any way-but I have three EcoPumps and use them every day.)

- NOTES : Here is an updated version of the Asiago Cheese Bread I posted to this list several months ago.
- The original version had an egg but no oil; I like the flavor of this version better.
- I have also recently tried replacing 1 c. of the bread flour with Gold-n-White flour, that has all the wheat germ of whole wheat flour but not the bran.
- (I added 1 Tbsp.
- of gluten flour along with the Gold-n-White.)
- This flour added another layer of flavor to the bread that I liked very much.
