A no-knead batter bread filled with pizza flavors and gooey cheese. Serve with a side of marinara, or along side an Italian dish.
Yield 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Filling
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine (softened)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup (4oz) cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Prepare filling: Combine all filling ingredients; mix well and set aside.
- In stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat milk, water and butter to 120-130°F (butter does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture; blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Add egg; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a stiff batter.(NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk.)
- Sprinkle sesame seed in well-greased 12-cup Bundt pan or 10-inch tubed pan. Spread half of batter in pan. Spoon filling evenly over batter. Spread remaining batter over filling. (Batter will cover filling during baking.) Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Invert onto serving plate. Serve warm.
