Sourdough Potato Cheese Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Cut a checkerboard pattern into the sourdough bread round by cutting 5 or more slices about 1 inch apart into the sourdough bread round with a serrated knife, taking care not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread a quarter turn, and cut 5 or more slices going the other way, to finish the checkerboard pattern. The slices will still be attached at the bottom.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan, and stir in the mustard, lemon juice, poppy seeds, seasoned salt, and onion until the mixture is well combined. Place the bread loaf onto the prepared baking sheet, and carefully pour the butter mixture all over the bread, including in the cracks between squares, letting the butter mixture soak into the bread. Stuff slices of Swiss cheese into the spaces between the bread squares.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the loaf is browned, about 30 minutes. To serve, let guests pull the bread apart into individual squares.

Steps:

• Combine the first four ingredients in a large non-metal bowl and blend well.
• Cover and let stand overnight till light and bubbly.
• Do not skip this step!
• Add the next 5 ingredients and 3 c flour.
• Mix in enough of the rest of the flour to make a soft but pliable not quite sticky dough (fingers when touching the dough should come back clean).
• Place dough in an oiled bowl turning once to coat both sides, cover and let rise 2 hours.
• Place dough on counter (lightly floured if needed) divide in 2 or three equal portions and let rest 10 minutes.
• Form into loaf shape and place on greased baking sheet, do not make to thick or this will never get done in the middle.
• Let rise till doubled.
• Just before baking slash the tops with a sharp knife 4-5 times.
• Spray dough and inside of oven w/ water (will need to repeat at least every 15 minutes) and bake in a 350 oven 1 hour for large loaves and 45 minutes for regular sized. Watch carefully to prevent overbrowning. May need to increase bake time depending on the area you live.
