Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge – Casatiello
Okay first, this bread is the best bread ever. Ever.
This is the 5th bread of the BBA challenge and it’s a brioche-type bread but has salami and cheese (I used cheddar) mixed into the dough.
It took me, I don’t know, 3 weeks to start on this bread. I think it was the movie Grease that said one of the characters smelled like salami and that kind of traumatized me. I’ve never tried it because I didn’t want to smell like it. So that was set back number 1. Then once I decided I was going to use it, I couldn’t find it! Anywhere! Then I found a package, ate half of it, and decided to put the bread off even longer just for the hell of it.
This was a quick bread compared to the other BBA breads, it only took about 5 hours to complete. It was easy to put together and as I said, best bread ever. My only complaint is the shredded cheese kind of just disappeared. Next time I will do chunks instead so you’ll get obvious pockets of cheesy goodness.
As always, if you want this recipe check out the book.
Very nice. I also liked this bread. Would put even more stuff in next time. LOL!
Great job,
Susie

That looks delish! I wish I enjoyed baking because I would love to have that baking in the oven.

Your bread looks super yummy. I would probably opt for cheese chunks too since I’m a cheese lover.

I skipped over this bread, and went to the challah, intending to make it at some later date, but after you proclaimed it to be the best bread ever, I had to go ahead and bake it. I’m so glad I did, it was delicious! I’m a vegetarian, so I replaced the salami with toasted walnuts, and it was fabulous! I haven’t posted about it yet, but I will in the next day or so…

I also liked this bread even though I hated having greasy fingers while eating.
