~ Pepper Cheddar Bread ~
1 bell pepper, either red or green
5 - 6 cups white bread flour
3 T granulated sugar
1 seven-gram packet of instant yeast
1 3/4 cups warm water, 110 degrees
2 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
2 T melted butter
1/4 t white pepper
1/2 T salt
Dice the bell peppers. Spread the pepper pieces on a paper
towel on a plate and cook them in the microwave until tender.
Set them aside to cool. Place about two cups of the bread
flour, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of your stand-type mixer.
Add the warm water and beat with a dough hook until it is
partially mixed. The purpose of this mixing is to hydrate the
yeast. Add most of the remaining flour to the bowl. Add the
cheese, melted butter, white pepper, and salt. Knead with the
dough hook at medium speed for four minutes. Add the
vegetables and knead them in. Since the vegetables are moist,
you will likely need to add flour to reach the right
consistency. Set the dough in a greased bowl, turn once,
and cover. Set the bowl in a warm place and allow it to
double in size. Grease two large loaf pans. Form two loaves,
cover them, and let them rise until doubled and puffy. Bake
at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until done. Remove the
bread from the pans and let the bread cool on a wire rack.
Makes 2 loaves
