Instructions: Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine in order listed, or in the order recommended for your machine. (I usually toss the grated cheese with the cornmeal before adding it to the pan, to decrease clumping.) Set controls for Basic bread with medium crust and start machine.

Makes one 1.5-pound loaf.

NOTE: This bread makes wonderful garlic toast. After cutting it, spray very lightly with olive oil from your EcoPump, then sprinkle generously with granulated garlic powder. Toast in oven until as brown as you like it.

(The rainforest-friendly EcoPump is a spray bottle that you fill half-way with oil, then pump in air using the special top-like a bicycle pump-so you get the benefits of a fine aerosol mist without any chemicals.

If you cant find one where you live, contact California Olive Oil Corp., Im not related to this company in any way-but I have three EcoPumps and use them every day.)

NOTES : Here is an updated version of the Asiago Cheese Bread I posted to this list several months ago. The original version had an egg but no oil; I like the flavor of this version better. I have also recently tried replacing 1 cup of the bread flour with Gold-n-White flour, which has all the wheat germ of whole wheat flour but not the bran. (I added 1 tablespoon of gluten flour along with the Gold-n-White.) This flour added another layer of flavor to the bread which I liked very much.
