-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup unsalted butter -- softened
1/2 cup silken tofu
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons lukewarm water
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups shredded smoked Gouda -- or smoked Cheddar cheese
2 1/4 teaspoons Yeast -- Red Star Platinum
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 1/2 cups Unbleached Bread Flour -- to 5C, King Arthur
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
This delightful bread was the 2015 National Festival of Breads
Champion. Lisa Keys, from Pennsylvania, was inspired to create this
bread from her visits to Vermont. She spent her days eating smoked
cheeses and fresh maple syrup from local farmers. This flavor-packed
bread honors all of her fondest Vermont memories.
Hands-on time: 34 mins. to 45 mins.
Baking time: 25 mins. to 27 mins.
Total time: 2 hrs 39 mins. to 2 hrs 57 mins.
Beat together the butter and tofu until the mixture is light and
fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the water and maple syrup.
Stir in the cheese, yeast, salt, pepper, and 4 cups of the flour; blend well.
Mix in the cranberries and gradually add enough of the remaining
flour to make a soft dough. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic,
about 8 minutes on low to medium speed of a stand mixer.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled,
about 1 hour.
Deflate the dough and divide it in half. Shape into 6" to 7" round
loaves, and place into two greased 9" round cake pans. Cover; let the
loaves rise until doubled, 40 to 45 minutes. Near the end of the
rise, preheat the oven to 400F.
Uncover the fully risen dough, and with a sharp knife or lame, make a
1/4" deep "X" slash across the top of each loaf.
Bake the loaves for 25 to 27 minutes, until golden brown, tenting
with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning if necessary. A digital
thermometer inserted into the middle of a loaf should register about 200F.
Remove the loaves from the oven, and after a few minutes turn them
out onto a rack to cool fully.
Yield: 2 loaves, 22 servings each.
