-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup warm water -- (105-115F)
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 package active dry yeast
4 cups bread flour -- (not self-rising)
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cottage cheese -- OR: ricotta cheese
Prep 30 mins
Rise 1 hr 30 mins
Yield: 1 loaf (15 slices)
Combine 1/4 cup of warm water, the brown sugar and yeast in small
glass measuring cup; stir to dissolve yeast. Let stand 10 minutes or
until the mixture is foamy.
Stir together flour, salt, rosemary, pepper, remaining 3/4 cup warm
water and cottage cheese in large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture. Stir
together with wooden spoon until well combined.
Using mixer fitted with dough hook, knead dough 8 minutes. Turn dough
out onto lightly floured surface; knead by hand 2 minutes. (To knead
dough without electric mixer, knead on lightly floured surface 8 to
10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.) Place dough in greased bowl;
turn to thoroughly coat dough. Cover bowl with cloth towel or lightly
oiled sheet of waxed paper. Let rise in warm place away from drafts
until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Roll
with lightly floured rolling pin or pat dough out into 15 x 9"
rectangle. If dough pulls back, let it rest for 10 minutes.
Lifting from short side, fold dough into thirds; place, seam side
down, in nonstick 11-1/2 x 5-1/2 x 3" loaf pan with decorative
braided bottom or 2 smaller regular loaf pans (see Note). Cover with
cloth towel or oiled sheet waxed paper. Let rise until doubled in
volume, 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 400F. For crispier crust, place heavy pan with 2 to 3
cups water on floor of oven.
Bake bread in 400F oven 30 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when
thumped and golden brown (check after 20 minutes; if too brown,
loosely cover with foil).
Cool bread in pan on rack 10 minutes. Remove bread to rack; cool
completely. If giving decorative pan, place bread, decorative bottom
up, in pan and wrap as desired.
