Onion-Cheese Braid

Print this Recipe


   1 package yeast active dry
   1/2 cup water warm (105° to 115°)
   1/2 teaspoon sugar
   3/4 cup milk
   1/2 cup potatoes unseasoned mashed
   1/4 cup butter or margarine
   1 tablespoon sugar
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/8 teaspoon black pepper
   3 tablespoons dried minced onion
   3 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
   4 cups flour
   1/2 cup cornmeal
   Cornmeal
   Milk
   Poppy seed (optional)


In a large mixer bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon sugar; let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.

In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup milk, mashed potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is warm (butter may not be melted). Remove from heat. Stir in dried onion and Parmesan cheese; let stand for 5 minutes.

Stir mashed potato mixture into yeast mixture. At low speed of an electric mixer or by hand, beat in 1 1/2 cups of the flour and 1/2 cup cornmeal until well blended. At medium speed, beat for 2 minutes. By hand, gradually add flour to form a stiff dough. On a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes.

Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn to coat all surfaces. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough. Divide into three equal portions. Roll and stretch each portion to form 14-inch long ropes. Cover with a towel and let rest for 5 minutes (ropes may shrink slightly).

Grease a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Gently place ropes side-by-side diagonally on baking sheet. Loosely braid, pinching ends to seal, then tuck ends under the braid. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Brush top with milk and, if desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Bake in middle of a preheated 375° oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If needed to prevent overbrowning, cover top loosely with foil after 20 minutes of baking. Transfer loaf to a wire rack and cool.
