Brians Blue Cheese Bread Recipes

BLUE CHEESE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Cut into bread to make 1-in.-thick slices, but don't cut all the way through, leaving slices attached at the bottom. Spread cheese mixture between slices. , Wrap loaf in a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 28x18 in.). Fold foil around bread and seal tightly. Bake at 350° until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

BEST BLUE CHEESE BREAD......MMMMMMMMMMM!!

Steps:

• Melt butter or margarine in pan; add blue cheese.
• Stir until blue cheese is melted and smooth.
• Take each dinner roll, and cut it into 6 pieces.
• Oil an 8x8-inch (or similar size) pan or glass baking dish (glass baking dish is preferred).
• Pour butter/blue cheese mixture into the baking dish.
• Place the cut up pieces of dough into the baking dish, on top of the blue cheese/butter mixture, crowding the pieces so that they touch.
• Bake according to packaged roll directions, usually 13-17 minutes, on about 350°-375°, or until golden brown on underside of pan (that is why it is good to use a glass dish, so you can lift it up to see if the underside is baked enough).
• When done, invert baking dish and the easy blue cheesy bread should drop out easily--so that what was the "bottom" in the baking dish becomes the "top"--serve immediately.
• While it is still hot, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve (optional).
• This is basically "pull apart finger food" and is absolutely delicious!

BLUE CHEESE SWIRL BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium until the butter is melted. Add the cool water and stir to combine. The mixture should feel just warm to the touch (about 95 degrees). If needed, let cool before using.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour, yeast, salt and milk mixture on low speed, 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix until smooth, another 3 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased medium bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place. Generously grease a 10-inch cast-iron or oven-safe skillet with about 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a log about 22 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Press the crumbled blue cheese into the log in a long stripe down the middle.
• Starting at one end, roll the log into a spiral (the blue cheese should mostly be folded inside the spiral). Place the dough into the prepared skillet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until noticeably puffy, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and one below. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Uncover the dough, and brush the surface with heavy cream.
• Place a baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven to catch any cheese that may bubble over. Bake the bread on the middle rack until the bread is golden-brown, 30 to 35 minutes. (It should have an internal temperature of 195 degrees in the thickest part of the loaf.)
• Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
