Cheddar Cheese Bread (Bread Machine Assisted) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees)
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 -3 cups sharp cheddar cheese (grated)

Preparation

In bread machine pan, place all ingredients from flour through yeast in order as recommended by the manufacturer.
Set bread machine to dough setting.
Once bread machine cycle is complete, remove dough to slightly floured surface.
Divide the cheese into thirds.
Put some flour on your hands if the dough sticks to them.
Press the dough flat. Sprinkle it with a portion of the cheese. Fold in half, press flat, repeat two more times until all of the cheese is used. Fold it into a ball, pressing firmly to seal the seam.
With a sharp knife, cut four small gashes in the dough. I go from the top center about 1/4 of the way down the dough ball. The gashes are equally spaced.
Place the dough on a baking sheet that has been lightly dusted with the corn meal. Let rise until doubled in size.
Put a pan of boiling water in the bottom of your oven that has been pre-heated to 375 degrees.
Bake the bread for about 30 minutes. Once done, cool on rack and enjoy!
