FETA & ROASTED RED PEPPER BREAD

Yield: 1 Loaf (produces an appetizing light red color loaf)

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 frozen bread dough, 16 oz
  • 3 TBS Morea feta cheese cubes in oil and herbs, shake slightly to mix
  • 1 TBS olive oil from the jar of feta cheese cubes
  • 2 tsp Morea roasted red pepper spread
  • ½ tsp fresh rosemary, minced fine

METHOD:

  1. Thaw frozen dough in refrigerator overnight or at room temperature until thawed but still firm.
  2. On cutting board with chef’s knife or dough cutter, chop dough into large chunks.
  3. Spread the other ingredients over chopped dough. Continue to chop and mix until dough is blended with cheese and roasted pepper spread and streaked with color.
  4. Place in loaf pan. Non-stick sprayed with pan spray works best.
  5. Proof in draft-free area covered loosely with light cloth towel or in gas oven with a shallow pan of warm water and the warmth of the pilot light will give ideal proofing temperature of about 100 F.
  6. Proof until dough domes slightly above top of pan.
  7. Bake at 350 F for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool 5-10 minutes and then remove from pan and finish cooling on cooling rack or screen.

Optional
This recipe works well with Pillsbury refrigerated French bread dough also. Just carefully unroll the dough and spread the flavoring out to the edges leaving about a 1/2 inch edge. Roll back up and pinch the seam together. Place seam down and bake according to the package instructions.
