Garlic And Parmesan Sourdough Bread Recipes

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:

• In a small bowl, combine the butter and Parmesan and blend well with a fork. Season with salt.
• Toast the baguette until lightly golden. Rub with the cut sides of the garlic, then spread with the butter-Parmesan mixture. Briefly run the bread under the broiler, just until the butter is nice and bubbly. Slice into pieces and serve warm.

Steps:

• The Sponge: Combine the sponge ingredients in a large plastic bowl, cover with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place for 18-20 hours.
• When ready the sponge should have expanded and smell pleasantly sour and bubbling. (at this point you may wish to refrigerate for up to 7 days, just remember to bring back to room temp).
• Bread: Place sponge and all other ingredients except garlic in mixing bowl, mix well and let rest 20-30 minutes.
• Mix again for 5-10 minutes, then cover and allow to rise 2-3 hours.
• Turn out onto lightly greased surface and flatten like you would cinnamon rolls .
• Sprinkle the garlic cloves evenly over the dough and roll up in cinnamon roll fashion pinching the sides in as you make a long oblong shaped loaf.
• Allow the loaf to rise covered with a towel for 2 hours or till almost doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Slash the top of the loaf 4 times with a sharp knife.
• Spritz loaf and oven with water.
• Bake in 475°F oven for 3 minutes spraying 2 more times.
• Turn the oven down to 375°F (if it is baking to fast try 350°F).
• Spray often with the water and watch for the bread turning brown too fast. If it does, cover with a foil tent.
• Bake approx 30-40 minutes or till nicely browned and bottom thumps hollow.
• This bread can be a little temperamental, just watch the coloring and adjust temp and cook time as needed.

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.
