Cheesy Garlic Herb Baguette Food

CHEESY GARLIC BAGUETTE

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.

HERB GARLIC BAGUETTES

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.

BAGUETTE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Slice baguette's (or French Bread) into 1/2" slices. (Cut on the diagonal).
• Heat olive oil in small skillet or pan. (Don't get smoking hot or it will burn the garlic.).
• Add the finely minced garlic cloves and cook very quickly. Not over 20 or 30 seconds, watching closely so you don't burn. (I strained out the garlic but Ina Garten didn't when she made her garlic bread).
• Brush baguette slices with the olive oil and put on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Bake in oven for 8 - 12 minutes or just until they are lightly browned.
• To freeze: Prepare up to the point of brushing the bread with the garlic oil. Place on a baking sheet, put in freezer and freeze until firm. Remove from freezer, wrap well in plastic wrap and then foil. Label and return to freezer.
• To serve: Unwrap and place on baking sheet. Proceed with directions and bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until hot through.
• NOTE: I used the smaller portions given for my baguettes but you may need more if using a loaf of French Bread.

HAM, CHEESE AND HERB BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Place the yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the warm water and honey and set aside in a warm spot for about 10 minutes, or until the yeast is dissolved and begins bubbling. (If the yeast does not bubble it is probably dead. Begin again, using fresh yeast.) Gradually sift the flour and salt into the yeast mixture, stirring constantly until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Sprinkle some flour over a working surface and gently knead the dough for several minutes. Cut the dough in half and roll out one half into a rectangle (like a rectangular pizza) about 14 inches by 10 inches. Brush the dough with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Scatter half the ham over the surface, pressing it gently into the dough. Sprinkle half the cheese on top and scatter half the herbs and a generous grinding of fresh black pepper over the dough. Using your hands, gently roll the dough lengthwise, into the shape of a long cigar. Lightly seal the edges of the dough. Place in a well greased French bread pan (or on a well-greased cookie sheet) and cover with a clean tea towel.
• Make the second loaf.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the two loaves of bread in a dry warm spot and let them sit, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Just before baking, lightly brush the loaves with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the middle shelf of the hot oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread has a golden brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
