Italian Parmesan Bread Recipe

12/8/11

So the other night I made a rotini pasta dish and my hubby loves garlic bread but I didn't have any. So I whipped an awesome cookbook out that my mom gave me when I got married. I use it more and more :) It had an Italian Parmesan Bread recipe. So I decided to give it a try. You don't even have to knead the bread. Just use a mixer for this recipe. Once it's cooked then slice and put a little butter with garlic powder.

One.

Word.

WINNER!

Here it is....

Italian Parmesan Bread

Ingredients

1 package active dry yeast

1 cup warm water (110 degrees)

3 cups all-purpose flour, divided

1/4 cup butter softened

2 tbsp sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp salt

1-1/2 tsp dried minced onion

1/2 tsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, divided

melted butter

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 2 cups flour, butter, egg, sugar, salt and seasonings. Beat on low speed until mixed about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue beating for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour and 1/2 cup cheese; beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Stir batter 25 strokes. Spoon into greased pan (loaf pan). Brush with a little melted butter and and sprinkle a little extra parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

I decided to make meatball sandwiches with the bread tonight.

Now.

We.

Are talking.

Revolutionary :)

I will save that post for another day....but if you have my Cookbook (everyone should) then you can use that recipe with this bread. Maybe I will post it tomorrow, if you're so lucky ;)
