Pepper Asiago Loaf Recipes

RED PEPPER ASIAGO GOUGèRE BITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Place water and butter in heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to low; stir in flour and garlic salt vigorously until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is smooth. Stir in cheese, bell pepper and basil.
• Immediately drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

PEPPER ASIAGO LOAF

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available., Bake according to bread machine directions (check the dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

ASIAGO CHEESE BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, cheese, salt, yeast and pepper. Add the water and use a wooden spoon, or your hand, to mix until you have a wet and sticky dough, about 30 seconds. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature until the surface is dotted with bubbles, and the dough is more than doubled in size,12 to 18 hours.
• When the first rise is complete, generously dust a work surface with flour. Use a bowl scraper or rubber spatula to scrape the dough out of the bowl in one piece. Use lightly floured hands to lift the edges of the dough in towards the center. Nudge and tuck in the floured hands to lift the edges of the dough in towards the center. Nudge and tuck in the edges of the dough to make it round.
• Place a tea towel on your work surface and generously dust it with cornmeal flour or wheat bran. Gently place the dough on the towel, seam side down. If the dough is tacky, dust the top lightly. Fold the ends of the tea towel over the dough to cover it. Place in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours. The dough is ready when it's almost doubled in size. (If you gently poke it with your finger, if should hold the impression. If it springs back, let it rise for another 15 minutes.)
• Half an hour before the end of the second rise, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F with a rack in the middle. Place a covered 4 to 5 quart heavy pot on the rack to preheat. (I use a 5-quart Dutch Oven.)
• Use pot holders to carefully remove the preheated pot from the oven and uncover it. Unfold the tea towel and quickly but gently invert the dough into the pot, seam side up. Use caution -- the pot will be very hot! Cover the pot and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid and continue baking until the bread is a deep chestnut color, about 15 to 30 minutes. Use a heatproof spatula or pot holders to gently lift the bread out of the pot and place it on a rack to cool thoroughly, about 1 hour.

RIZZO'S FAMOUS HOT OR SWEET PEPPERS W/ ASIAGO RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Place peppers in a roaster or baking dish. Cover and bake until soft and tender, about 35 minutes. (Peppers may be prepared to this pint and refrigerated overnight) Drain the liquid and place peppers in a skillet. Season with oil, freshly chopped garlic and garlic salt to taste. Saute over medium heat until garlic is lightly browned. Top with Asiago cheese and place under broiler to melt. Transfer to a large bowl or serving platter. Serve immediately with good Italian bread.

ASIAGO CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and pepper. Put the milk in a microwave safe bowl. Add the butter. Heat the milk to 120-130 degrees so that the butter starts melting. Make sure the temperature is just right so that it is warm enough to activate the yeast, but not kill it. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture and mix on low speed using the paddle attachment until smooth. Add in 1 1/4 cups shredded cheese and mix just until combined.
• Gradually add in 1 3/4 cups flour to make a soft dough. Knead in the stand mixer with the dough hook for 5 minutes.
• Spray a bowl with cooking spray. Add the dough to the bowl, then turn the dough over so the cooking spray coats both sides of the dough. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it is double (anywhere from 1-2 hours).
• After the dough is doubled, punch it down and form it into two loaves. Place the loaves on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover the loaves and allow them to rise again until doubled, which will take 30-45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Make 3-4 cuts in the top of the loaves with a serrated knife. Brush the tops of the loaves with the beaten egg and then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned.
