Egg And Garlic Cheese Baguette Recipes

Steps:

• Light the barbecue. Chop the mozzarella and taleggio into small chunks and tip into a bowl with the butter, garlic, herbs and some salt and pepper. If you want, you can mix everything together with a wooden spoon, but I prefer to use my hands.
• Using a bread knife, cut diagonal slices along the loaf about three quarters of the way into the bread - don't cut all the way through. If it looks like the bread won't fit on the barbecue, cut it in half and make two smaller ones.
• Push the garlic butter generously between each cut, allowing some to ooze onto the top - it will caramelise and taste superb. Sprinkle the paprika over. Wrap the bread up like a cracker in a double thickness of foil. You can prepare to this stage up to a day ahead.
• Put the pack straight onto the barbecue. Cook for 2 minutes then roll it over onto its side and cook for 2 minutes more. Roll it onto its other side and cook for a further 2 minutes. Have a peek - if the cheese is melting and the bread is crispy, remove it from the barbie. Pull the slices apart and eat while hot and gooey.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup water, bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast into bread machine pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select Dough cycle, and press Start.
• When the cycle has completed, place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Cut dough in half, creating two 8x12 inch rectangles. Roll up each half of dough tightly, beginning at 12 inch side, pounding out any air bubbles as you go. Roll gently back and forth to taper end. Place 3 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Make deep diagonal slashes across loaves every 2 inches, or make one lengthwise slash on each loaf. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water; brush over tops of loaves.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place baguette on a silpat lined sheet.
• Cut a trough lengthwise in the baguette. Pull out the soft bread inside, no need to be precise -- you are just making room for everything else.
• In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Add most of the soft bread after tearing to small pieces and mix.
• Line the baguette with the prosciutto (or whatever you have chosen).
• Pour the egg mixture the length of the baguette.
• Bake for 15-25 minutes. You know it is done when the eggs are fluffy and firm.
• Slice and enjoy.
• You could make this in individual rolls.

Steps:

• Put 3 1/4 cups flour, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic and salt in bowl.
• Mix using dough hook (s) until well blended, scraping bowl if necessary.
• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water.
• Continue mixing on slow speed and slowly add yeast mixture and cold water.
• If dough is sticky you may add up to 1/4 cup extra flour, a little bit at a time.
• If dough is too dry you may add a little extra water.
• Continue mixing until dough is smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place (70° to 80°F) until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• When doubled, turn out on a lightly floured surface and punch down several times to remove air bubbles.
• Divide dough in half.
• Shape each half into a 12 inch long loaf.
• Place loaves on a greased baking sheet.
• With sharp knife make 3 or 4 shallow diagonal slices on top of loaf.
• Combine egg and 1 TSP water, whisking until well blended.
• Brush top of each baguetter with egg mixture.
• Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Remove plastic wrap and brush top of each baguette with egg mixture again.
• Bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until loaves are deep golden brown.
• Remove and cool on wire racks.
