Ingredients

The Dough

  • 5 1/4 Cups Flour lukewarm
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Instant Yeast
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 Nickle Sized Drops of Soy Lecithin
  • 2 Cups Warm Water

Cheese Bread

  • 4 Tablespoons Butter unsalted
  • 1 1/2-2 Teaspoons Johnny's Garlic Seasoning
  • 4 Cups Mozzarella shredded cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For the Dough

  • In the bowl of your standing mixer, fitted with the dough hook attachment, mix the yeast, salt, sugar, and flour.
    1 1/2 Tablespoons Instant Yeast, 1/2 Tablespoon Salt, 1/4 Cup Sugar, 5 1/4 Cups Flour
  • Stop the mixer and add the soy lecithin, then mix again. Keeping the mixer running add the water and mix until smooth.
    1 1/2 Nickle Sized Drops of Soy Lecithin, 2 Cups Warm Water
  • Transfer dough to large bowl. Cover (not airtight), and allow to rest at room temperature until dough rises, about 15 minutes.

For the Cheese Bread

  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Place the cast iron pizza pan or pizza stone (unless you are using a metal pizza pan) in the oven to heat up.
  • Melt the butter in a small dish.
    4 Tablespoons Butter
  • Add the garlic salt and stir to combine.
    1 1/2-2 Teaspoons Johnny's Garlic Seasoning
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured work surface (we actually do the ol' toss method which keeps our dough nice and airy)
  • Top with cheese and slide the dough carefully onto the hot pizza pan and place right back in the oven.
    4 Cups Mozzarella
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes or until hot and bubbly then brush with the garlic butter mixture

Notes

I really do think that letting the cold dough rest in the fridge makes it easier to roll out and bubblier in the oven. Make the dough in the morning and let it rest all day and then make your cheesy bread!
to reheat: wrap in foil and place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes
