Italian Cheese Bread:
I used a roasted red pepper Italian w/parmesan dressing. This would also be a great appetizer with pizza sauce or marinara sauce on the side for dunkin.
Also bakes up much faster - 15 minutes is too long! Keep an eye on it.
*If your oven bakes HOT maybe bake at 425º. 15 minutes would be too long either way, start watching at the 10 minute mark.
2-1/2 C all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 T. quick-rise yeast
1 cup warm water (120*-130*)
1 T. vegetable oil
Topping:
1/4 cup prepared Italian Salad Dressing*
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ground oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
Dash pepper
1 T. grated Parmesan cheese (or more)
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
In a bowl, combine the first four ingredients.
2. Combine water and oil; add to flour mixture. Add additional flour, if needed, to for a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
3. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
4. Punch the dough down; place on a greased 12" pizza pan and pat into a 12" circle. Brush with salad dressing.
5. Combine the seasonings; sprinkle over top. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake at 450* for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
*Ranch dressing can be substituted for Italian dressing if you want a little different taste or need to make a substitute.
