French Asiago Bubble Bread For The Bread Machine

Oven: 400
20—25 Minutes

1 1/4 c water
1 T honey
2 T olive oil
1 large egg, beaten
3 3/4 c flour
3/4 c freshly grated Asiago cheese
1/4 c dry milk powder
1 t sea salt
2 t instant yeast

Place the dough ingredients into the pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Program for dough or manual, and press Start. At the end of the cycle, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Cover it with a clean towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Filling:

1/3 c olive oil
4 T fresh crushed garlic
1/2 c freshly grated Asiago cheese

Combine all of the filling ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. Lightly oil a 9” round cake pan. Note: a dark-colored pan will produce bread with a crispier bottom than a light-colored, reflective pan. Divide the dough into 14 pieces and shape each into a ball. Dip each ball in the filling mixture, and lay them into the pan. Pour any remaining filling evenly over the dough. Cover the pan with greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for 30 minutes. Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it’s golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
