Dads Garlic Wine Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In lg mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of the flour with the yeast.
• In saucepan, heat wine, butter, sugar and salt until warm (115-120 degrees F), stirring constantly until butter almost melts.
• Add butter-wine mixture to dry mixture.
• Add eggs.
• Beat at low speed for 30 sec, scraping bowl constantly; beat 3 min at high speed.
• By hand, stir in cheese and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn out onto lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic.
• Place in lightly greased bowl, turning once.
• Cover and let rise until double (1-1/2 hr) Punch down, cover& let rest 10 min.
• Shape into 8" round loaf.
• Place in greased 9" pie plate; cover and let rise in warm place until double, about 40 min.
• Bake in 375 oven about 40 min, covering w/foil after first 20 min.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Slice the bread almost all the way through in 1" - 1-1/2" slices. (You want the loaf to stay intact while baking but easy to separate once baked).
• Place bread in a jelly roll pan on a large enough sheet of aluminum foil that you can fold the sides up to contain the wine/butter mixture (you WANT the bread to sit in the wine/butter mixture -- Oh yes).
• Place a sliver of garlic between each slice.
• Melt butter in glass cup measure in microwave.
• Stir in an equal amount of red wine to the cup.
• Drizzle the wine/butter mixture between each slice and pour remainder over the top. If you double the recipe, you'll want to mix it again mid-pour as the wine & butter tend to separate.
• Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. Bread is done with the top and especially the bottom of the bread is crusty. We remove the garlic before eating so as not to offend others the next day.
• If you don't like this, you'll be the first one who didn't.
