Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 15-ounce jar mayonnaise
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup grated Cheddar or jack cheese
1/2 cup minced garlic
Dash hot sauce
1 loaf French bread, sliced in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, butter, cheese, garlic and hot sauce. Spread over both halves of the bread. Bake in the oven until golden brown and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
  • This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. The Food Network Kitchens have not tested it for home use, therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Invest in Good Measuring Tools: Accurate measurements are essential for successful baking. Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients by weight whenever possible. It's more precise than using measuring cups.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing can make the bread tough and dense. Mix the dough just until it comes together. You should still see some small lumps of butter in the dough. If you are making a no-knead bread, do not mix it at all.
  • Let the Dough Rise Properly: The rising time is essential for the bread to develop its flavor and texture. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully and don't rush the process.
  • Bake the Bread at the Right Temperature: The oven temperature is also crucial for the bread's success. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't Overbake the Bread: Overbaking can make the bread dry and crumbly. Bake the bread for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).

Conclusion:

Baking heavenly bread at home is a rewarding experience that requires patience, attention to detail, and a love for the craft. By following these tips and practicing regularly, you can master the art of bread making and create delicious, crusty, and flavorful loaves that will impress your family and friends. Remember, baking is a journey, and the more you bake, the better you'll become. So don't be afraid to experiment with different recipes and techniques until you find what works best for you.
