Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 teaspoon yeast
  • 1/4 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3/4 cup mortadella diced

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, or the bowl of your mixer, mix together the water, yeast and honey. Let sit until it's foamy.
  • In your mixer bowl, add 2 1/4 cup of the all purpose flour, yeast mixture, milk, eggs and salt and pepper. Using the paddle attachment, mix well.
  • Add the mortadella and cheddar cheese to the mixer and continue mixing. Switch to the hook attachment.
  • Add the remaining all purpose flour and mix for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough is nice and firm.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until doubled in size, for about an hour.
  • Punch down the dough and place it on a floured surface. Knead it slightly a couple times, then roll it out into a long rectangle.
  • Roll up the dough, jelly roll style.
  • Place the roll in a buttered loaf pan and let rise for another 45 minutes to an hour until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees.
  • Bake the bread for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown. When you tap it, it should sound hollow.
  • Cool on a rack.
