What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup toasted whole pine nuts
- 1 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 cup to 4-1/4 cups bread flour, divided (we used King Arthur)
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 (1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeast (we used Fleischmann's)
- 2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2/3 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1/2 cup quartered red seedless grapes
What to Do
- Place pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until slightly browned and toasted.
- In a bread machine pan, place water and 1/2 cup olive oil. Add 4 cups bread flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture and place yeast in well.
- Program bread machine for DOUGH. During last 2 minutes of kneading cycle, add rosemary, Asiago cheese, pine nuts, and grapes. If necessary, add some of the remaining flour if dough appears to be sticky.
- When DOUGH cycle is complete, divide dough in half. On a floured board, roll each half into a 12- x 6-inch rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; seal well. Pinch ends and pull slightly to taper. Place seam-side down on greased baking sheets.
- Cover; let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brush loaves with remaining olive oil.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden. Remove to cooling rack.
Notes
- Dough may also be made in electric mixer using a dough hook.
- Use loaves for bruschetta, appetizer spreads, or to accompany soups.
