Asiago Artisan Bread Recipes

Asiago bread is an easy 6 ingredient homemade bread recipe that will yield a delicious, soft Asiago cheese loaf perfect for serving along side dinner, as the base for a crostini, or breakfast toast. Make Asiago cheese bread in just a few hours, and enjoy a cheesy fresh baked treat.

Fresh baked bread is one of those universally appreciated smells I think. That warm, yeasty scent when you walk into a bakery…mmmmm. Learning how to bake bread at home was one of the best decision I ever made, and it’s become a quick comfort to me whenever I want that bakery fresh loaf, without paying for an artisan loaf…or having to get out of my pjs.

Asiago

This particular loaf is simple, and inspired by my favorite bagel, the Asiago cheese bagel (add warm cream cheese, ohhhh man). It’s soft on the inside, just chewy enough on the outside and loaded with Asiago. Seriously, 3 different ways. It’s the kind of loaf that gets devoured quickly. You may even be too impatient to use a knife.

I have a fondness for this cheese. I make a killer Asiago Cream Sauce, and often use it to replace Parmesan or Romano cheeses in recipes.

Asiago is a cows milk cheese originally produced in the northeast area of Italy that thankfully, we can get here in the states as well. Authentic Asiago cheese can come in a variety of textures based on the length of it’s aging. Fresh Asiago is sweet, soft…and basically impossible to find here. But aged, crumbly Asiago is usually available at most grocery stores.

While not nearly as popular as it’s Parmesan and Romano cousins you can usually find one or two brands available. It’s nutty, salty, and downright delicious.

Pull Apart Garlic Cheese Bread

Yes. Only 6. Bread at it’s most basic can be as simple as yeast, water, and flour. This one adds just a few more for added flavor.

Pro Tip – Only have AP flour? It can replace bread flour 1:1 in this recipe (and most bread recipes). The results will be a little less airy/chewy, but still entirely delicious!

Ingredients gathered? Let’s begin. With some basic, standard bread making techniques, you’ll be off to the oven in just a few hours. (Most of which you won’t actually be doing anything to the bread!)

Cheese Bread (no Knead!)

Don’t add too much flour to the dough! If it sticks to your hands when you turn it onto a floured surface, lightly flour your hands while kneading. Once the visible flour has disappeared, continue to flour your hands until the dough no longer sticks to them.

Most fresh baked bread will last 3 to 4 days before the texture gets dry. I’ve found that wrapped in plastic or kept in a zip top bag that this loaf can last about 5…if it makes it that long.

You may see less browning when it’s finished. To assist the cheese in sticking, you can brush the dough very gently with a small amount of water.

You can use a stand mixer to get the dough ready for the first rise. I recommend keeping it on a speed similar to what you would work at if doing it by hand. Be sure to stop the machine and scrape down the sides and bottom so the dough kneads evenly.

No. Feel free to shape it as you wish. I like the braid because it catches all the cheese on top and creates more cheesy crust. Be advised that shaping it into a ball may require more bake time, or if into smaller loaves less.

That’s it! You’ve got delicious cheesy bread with a lovely soft interior texture. It’s hard to beat that ingredient list am I right? Enjoy it with a nice Gnocchi Tomato Pasta or something saucy like Dr. Pepper Braised Short Ribs, Orange and Chicken Braise, or even just slathered with roasted garlic butter and warm along side a simple Tomato Spinach Salad.

*If dough sticks to hands while kneading in the 13.5 ounces of flour, lightly dust hands with flour and knead. Repeat until the dough is no longer sticking to you.

-

*Egg wash provides sheen and color but isn’t necessary, use a very light coat of water to help cheese stick if no other wash is desired.

Super Easy Asiago Sun Dried Tomato Bread

STEP ASIDE, plain ol' easy crusty bread. There's a new game in town, and it's packed with sweet, buttery, nutty asiago cheese.

We love playing with different bread flavor combinations (check out our Everyday Artisan Bread course for even more recipes!), and this asiago bread is always at the top of our favorites list.

If you've made our Dutch Oven bread before, you'll recognize this baking technique, but we're amping up the flavor here by adding a dash of fresh ground pepper and a boatload (

Asiago Bread (no Knead)

This bread packs a punch (grilled cheese sandwiches with this cheese bread? They are NEXT. LEVEL) but is still ready in just under three hours. No waiting for anything to rise overnight, and no kneading necessary!

Mix active dry yeast with a bit of sugar and warm water, let the yeast proof until it's nice and foamy, and then stir in the rest of your dough ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, and plenty of asiago cheese). Mix until no dry flour remains - the dough should be a bit shaggy and slightly sticky, but that's ok!

When the dough is mixed, cover it with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it's doubled in size.

Asiago And Rosemary Italian Artisan Sourdough Loaf

Shape the dough into a round boule (see the video below for a tutorial on shaping!) and let it rise for another 30 minutes or so in a small mixing bowl or proofing basket while you preheat the oven and your Dutch oven.

Turn your dough out onto a piece of parchment paper (this makes it easier to lift the bread in and out of a hot pot!) and top it with another handful of asiago cheese.

Transfer the loaf to your hot dutch oven (or use one of our other methods!) and bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake another 10-20 minutes to give the crust some deeper color.

More accurate than measuring by volume (with cups). Because each person measures a cup of flour a little bit differently, it’s easy to end up usingtoo much flour in a recipe – which results in dry, dense bread!

When you measure your flour in grams with a kitchen scale, you can measure flour perfectly every time.So if you have a kitchen scale, please use it!

We recommend King Arthur Flour or Bob’s Red Mill flour for best results – these flours are the most consistent, and they both have a high protein content (which gives you a stronger, more elastic, less sticky dough!) All purpose flour and bread flour are both great in this recipe.

Of different variables that can affect your final loaf: don't be afraid to trust your instincts and adjust for your own kitchen!

If your kitchen is especially chilly, you may need to extend the rise time for your bread (and if it's especially warm, it may not take the full hour!)

This cheesy french bread uses a slacker (wetter) dough than many folks are used to, but that's what makes it so light and chewy! If you're brand new to bread baking or a little nervous about working with such a slack dough, feel free to add a little bit of extra flour (it will still taste great!)

We recommend making this recipe at least one time as written so you can get a feel for what the dough should look and feel like at every step. That said, there are a few fun ways to customize this crusty bread if you like!

Definitely! We love using a Dutch oven to create a crispy, crackly crust on our bread, but it’s not the only way to bake great bread at home. Check out this post about baking bread without a Dutch oven for our favorite alternative methods.

Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat, pop bread into a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until it is crisp and warmed through. You can also pop individual slices right from the fridge into a toaster or toaster oven.

Recommend storing bread in the fridge, but we make an exception for this loaf: it needs to stay cold since it's packed with cheese!

Yes! Store sliced bread in an airtight container (we love using Stasher Bags for this!) and freeze for 2-3 months.
