Asiago Cheese Bread Machine Recipe
Asiago Cheese Bread Machine Recipe combines tangy Asiago cheese with a soft, flavorful bread dough. Using a bread machine, you mix flour, yeast, milk, and cheese, then let the machine handle the kneading and baking. The result is a crusty loaf with a cheesy, savory taste, perfect for sandwiches or as a side.
Equipment
- Bread machine,
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl
- knife
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water 110°F/45°C
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh rosemary optional for extra flavor
Instructions
Prepare the Bread Machine
- First, add the warm water to the bread machine pan. Ensure that the water isn’t too hot, as it can kill the yeast. Sprinkle the sugar over the water and let it dissolve for a minute.
Add Dry Ingredients
- Next, add the bread flour, salt, and active dry yeast to the pan. I recommend adding the yeast after the flour to prevent direct contact with the salt, which can hinder yeast activation.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Drizzle the olive oil over the flour mixture. If you’re using fresh rosemary, sprinkle it in at this stage. The rosemary adds a lovely herbal note to the bread.
Start the Bread Machine
- Set your bread machine to the “Basic” or “White Bread” setting. Select the desired crust color if your machine offers options. Start the machine, and it will mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread.
Add Cheese
- When the machine beeps or indicates that it’s time to add mix-ins, carefully add the grated Asiago cheese. The bread machine will incorporate the cheese during the kneading process.
Cool and Enjoy
- Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
