Garlic And Parmesan Sourdough Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic salt, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
• Spread each half of the French bread with equal portions of the butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
• Place bread halves, crusts down, on a medium baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly browned.

Steps:

• Starter must be proofed overnight or up to 12 hours before making bread.
• Add ingredients to bread machine in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
• Select Dough cycle and start.
• When dough has finished kneading, but before it goes into the rise, remove from machine and shape into loaf or loaves.
• You could do standard loaves, or a free-form round or oval, or elongate.
• Let bread rise until double in bulk, covered.
• For a nice touch, lightly beat 1 egg white with 1 Tbsp water and brush top of loaf with this egg wash, and then sprinkle with fresh Parmesan, finely shredded.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of loaves.
• NOTE: Roasted garlic could be used, in which case I would increase the amount because it is milder in flavor.

Steps:

• Proof starter over night before making bread.
• To Kitchen Aid mixing bowl add all the ingredients (except toppings).
• Using dough hook mix until a satin ball is formed (approximately 12-15 minutes); adding additional flour as needed.
• Remove dough to greased bowl, turning once to coat.
• Cover and allow to rise until doubled (approximately 1 hour).
• Form into 1 large or 2 smaller free-form loaves and place on parchment paper or pizza peel dusted with corn meal.
• Cover and allow bread to rise until double in size.
• Preheat oven to 375 dgrees.
• Lightly beat 1 egg white with 1 tablespoon water.
• Brush top of loaves with egg wash and then sprinkle with fresh parmesan.
• Bake a 375 deghrees for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the loaves.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, Parmesan and parsley. Add the salt and generously season with pepper. Set aside while you cut the baguette.
• Cut deep slits into the baguette, 1-inch apart - don't cut all the way through the loaf - and place the baguette on a large piece of foil. Using a teaspoon or an offset spatula, generously spread the seasoned butter inside each slit. Make sure to reach the bottom of the slit; don't be shy here.
• Wrap the baguette in the foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baguette from the oven and unwrap the top (leave the bread on the foil). If you're adding mozzarella, use the offset spatula or spoon to gently open each slit and tuck a piece of mozzarella in (it's O.K. if the cheese pops out from the top a little). Return bread to the oven and bake until crisp and golden on top, another 5 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife (or tear with your hands) and serve at once.
