Ingredients

  • 2 34 cups bread flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 14 ounces yeast, dry
  • 1 cup water, very warm
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 14 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 14 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1 ounce)
  • 14 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3 tablespoons jalapenos, minced
  • 3 tablespoons green onions, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 18 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 egg white

Method

  • Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl; stir well.
  • Add 1 cup very warm water and 1 tablespoon oil; stir until well blended.
  • Add 1-1/2 cups flour; stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
  • Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 deg), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
  • Punch dough down, and roll into a 15- x 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Combine parsley and next 7 ingredients in a bowl; stir well.
  • Spread parsley mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch margin around edges.
  • Roll up dough, starting at long side, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch ends and seam to seal.
  • Place roll, seam side down, on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • Using a sharp knife, make 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slits 3 inches apart across top of loaf.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 deg), free from drafts, about 35 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
  • Combine 2 teaspoons water and egg white, and gently brush over dough.
  • Bake at 375 deg for 30 minutes or until loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
