Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup warm milk -- (110F/45 C)
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 eggs -- room temperature
1 1/2 cups grated Romano cheese
4 tablespoons butter -- softened
Original recipe makes 2 9x5" loaves
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let
stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Lightly grease a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir flour and eggs into yeast mixture; beat on medium-low speed
for about 10 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add cheese
and softened butter; beat a few minutes more, until fully
incorporated. Dough will be very sticky. Scoop dough into greased
mixing bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
Deflate dough and gently fold it over itself; cover and let rise
again for 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease two 9x5" loaf pans or a tube pan.
4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead slightly.
Divide the dough in half, if using loaf pans, or shape it into a log
if using a tube pan. Transfer dough to prepared pan(s). Let rise for
30 minutes.
5. Bake in preheated oven until loaves are golden brown and sound
hollow when their bottoms are tapped, about 60 minutes. Remove from
pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Footnotes
Some cooks include freshly ground black pepper--about 1 teaspoon.
