Asiago Bread
contributed by gayla
1 envelope Active Dry Yeast
3/4 cup warm water
2 T sugar
3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups flour, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons garlic salt, divided
4 eggs, divided
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
2 T dried basil OR 6 T minced fresh basil
Combine yeast and warm water in mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, 1 cup flour and 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic salt. Beat well.
Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Beat in butter. Add remaining 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 cups flour to make a
soft dough.
Turn out on floured surface and knead 5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Knead lightly again. Divide dough in half. Roll each piece into an 8 X 5-inch rectangle.
Mix cheese, basil, remaining egg and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt in a
small bowl. Spread cheese mixture over dough. Roll up in a long
roll. Pinch ends and seams to seal and place each roll in a greased
9 X 5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in
size.
Preheat oven to 350 Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until top is
browned and sounds hollow when tapped.
