Goat Cheese and Cracked Pepper Bread

 This bread has a bit of a bite and is delicious dipped in olive oil.







Ingredients
1 cup warm water
4 tablespoons goat cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

To complete by bread machine: Place all ingredients into the bread machine in order listed.  Select the white bread cycle.  Let the machine do all the work.  The machine will make one 1 1/2 pound loaf.

Dough Cycle Use:  Place all ingredients into the bread machine in order listed. Select the dough cycle.  When dough cycle completes (about 90 minutes) remove dough, divide in half.  Form each into a ball and  then elongate each ball into a baguette shape.   Place on parchment paper and let bread raise in warm place until doubled in size.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees with pizza stone, letting the stone heat for about 20 minutes to get it nice and hot.  Brush the top of the loaf with water and give it several slashes with a serrated bread knife. Slide onto hot pizza stone (with parchment paper which you can remove about 15 minutes into baking).  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bread is golden brown.  Remove bread and let cool on cooling rack. 

Yield: 2 loaves
