Ingredients
Scale
For the bread dough:
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon yeast
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup + 2 – 3 Tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup shredded Italian cheeses
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped fine
For the layers:
- 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped fine
- 1 heaping cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Put all the bread dough ingredients in the bread machine, set it on the dough setting and start. After a few minutes, take a peek at the dough and add a bit of water if needed if the dough isn’t pulling together into a ball of dough.
- While the dough is “cooking”, melt the butter and mix it with the olive oil and garlic. Set aside to infuse the butter/oil with garlic.
- When the dough is ready, roll it out into a 12×20 inch rectangle. Brush with 3 Tablespoons of the garlicky mixture, saving a Tablespoon for later. Sprinkle with cheese. Cut the dough into 4 – 6 strips, then cut each strip into 6 rectangles. Pile the rectangles into the bread pan, taking care not to spill out the cheese. On the last strip at the end, make sure to put the cheesy side towards the inside of the bread. I had more than enough dough to fill my bread pan, so I made a separate smaller loaf as well.
- Preheat the oven for rising by bringing it to 170 F. then turning the oven off. Let the bread rise, covered, in the oven for 40 – 45 minutes, then bake for about 35 – 40 minutes, until golden brown on top.
