Cooking Recipe Pimiento Cheese Bread
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
*DIRECTIONS*
Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in
milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is
thickened and smooth. Remove from heat; add cheese and pimiento,
stirring until cheese melts. Cool mixture to lukewarm (105 to 115
degrees).
Dissolve yeast in warm water; add to cooled cheese mixture. Gradually
add 3 cups flour, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until
dough is smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth
and elastic (about 5 to 10 minutes). Place dough in a greased bowl,
turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85
degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down, and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9x5x3-inch
loafpan. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 hour
or until doubled in bulk.
Brush top with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 35
to 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove loaf
from pan, and cool on a wire rack.
Yields 1 loaf.
