With 5 kids in the house during the summer, she'd make a few of these for us to make while she'd be at work. Since...

- 2. Spoon filling into loaf that has been sliced; if freezing, wrap in foil and put in plastic bag of later use.
- 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. If frozen, bake for about 20 min or until bread is crispy and filling is heated through.
- 4. **** This can be altered to use with pepperoni, veggies, and any type of cheese including velveta. My Dad hated velveta so my mom never made it that way. If adding other items, reduce meat to 1/2 lb. of each. **** In my picture, I sliced bread on top because of how the loaf was baked. It was presplit on top and would not have worked with split on side.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your bread. Use fresh, high-quality flour, yeast, and water.
- Properly Measure Your Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients. This will ensure that your bread has the correct texture and flavor.
- Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough is an important step that helps develop the gluten in the flour. This will give your bread a chewy texture.
- Let the Dough Rise Properly: The first and second rise are essential for the bread to develop its flavor and texture. Make sure you let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the Bread at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven will determine the color and texture of your bread. Make sure you preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- Let the Bread Cool Completely: Once the bread is baked, let it cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread to set and develop its full flavor.
