Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded Jarlsburg Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 2 Tbs softened butter or margarine
  • 1 1/2 pound bread dough I use a fixed (with more liquid version of Mario Batali's Basic Bread Dough recipe but frozen bread dough can be used as well)

Instructions

  • In a warm oven, let the dough rise until double. Combine cheeses and pepper and set mixture aside. Roll the dough onto a very lightly flowered board into a 10x16 inch square. Spread softened butter over the entire surface of dough. Sprinkle the cheese/pepper mixture over prepared dough and roll up beginning at the 16 inch side. Fold the ends under and place on a greased cookie sheet with the seam side down. With a sharp knife cut about 3-4 slants diagonally across the top. Place in a warm oven and let rise until double again. Heat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Serve plain or with marinara dipping sauce.

Notes

Note: This recipe calls for Jarlsburg Swiss, Cheddar and Parmesan cheese. You can use any combination of cheese to satisfy your personal taste. Often times, I'll substitute the swiss for mozzarella because that is something I always have on hand.
