3 cheese prosciutto bread
This is a variation of a basic no-knead bread that I've been experimenting with. It's really delicious and very easy! You can make changes for your own taste, as long as you stick to the basic blend of flour, water, salt, and yeast. The pizza seasoning I am using is a store-brand pizza seasoning grinder mix, but I'm screwing off the grinder and using it whole. The bits of seasoning rehydrate while the loaf is sitting overnight. I am using Kroger's brand, found with the spices.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This 3 cheese prosciutto bread is similar to sourdough bread, but without the sourdough starter. It goes through a process similar to making a sourdough bread, but has just a small amount of yeast instead of starter. Trust the process. Once this no-knead bread is baked, the outside is crisp. Inside, the bread is soft and billowy with pieces of prosciutto and cheese throughout. There's a small kick from the robust flavor of the pizza seasoning. A slice is delicious with a little butter, but it would also be great dunked into soup.
