Cheese Bread from the French Pastry School

[aiaorui11]

i have a question: if you don't have Baker's Special Dry milk, what is the next best dry milk? carnation? kroger? safeway?

thank you

[KingArthurFlour]

@aiaorui11 Baker's Special Dry Milk is high heat processed, deactivating the protease enzyme which inhibits yeast growth. Other dry milks are different in that they are low heat processed leaving the protease enzyme unchanged. To substitute for special dry milk you would replace the liquid called for in the recipe with the same amount of milk, which has been scalded and brought back to room temperature.

@KingArthurFlour Thank you for answering my question. I was planning to make KAF recipe of pain au chocolat.

last question if you could find potata flour or potato flakes what do i substitute it with?

thank you again

very good

[baxterenrife]

Cheese bread looks nice. Big though - great for fat Americans. We'd probably do them a bit smaller here in Europe.

[KissHope]

@baxterenrife

Do you honestly think the portion of bread is for one person? Or is that to show your ill mannered behavior.

[shangmenglong]

This is so f**king good.

[jonaynay1]

WOW... you really like cinnamon rolls and danishes!

[cherd1971]

can you buy hard rolls online?

[Thesadsadgame]

This school has educated some of the best pastry chef's I have had the honor of working with.

[homesnakegabe]

cheese on bread thats all i got to say about that

[rhonda6004]

I would love to try this at home. However, I do not have the original starting recipe. Can that be posted please?? Also, I keep my King Arthur Flour in the refrig., is that ok or should it be kept always at room temp? Thank you so much for your help!

[KingArthurFlour]

@rhonda6004 Hi Rhonda,

While we can't give out the French Pastry School's recipe, you can see our version on our website. Just click on "recipes" and use Gruyere as your search word. Have fun! MJR @ KAF

[rhonda6004]

I would love to make this with my King Arthur Flour, but you did not go over the base recipe you start out with. What is that recipe???? Thank you.

Rhonda, Florida

[MrApocalypse2012]

how long do i have to work the dough in order to save its elasticity.I usually cook bread myself according to my style but it doesnt come out as delicious as yours.

[KingArthurFlour]

If you are kneading by hand, knead until the dough springs back when you press it with a floured finger, about 10 minutes. If you're using a stand mixer, knead on the second speed for about 4 to 6 minutes until the dough springs back. Feel free to give us a call at the Baker's Hotline, 800-827-6836, if you'd like to discuss it further. Molly @ KAF

[cmed24]

I attended the school in 2008 and it was amazing. One of the best experiences of my life.

[misswadadli]

Just tried to click the link for the recipe, but it's showing a broken link. can anybody share the recipe??

[KingArthurFlour]

Our web team will try to get this fixed for you. Sorry for the inconvenience. Frank @ KAF, baker/blogger.

[wcchalo]

why does that guy have his ring on? arent you sopose to take them off when your cooking?

[cmed24]

you can wear rings as long as it is something like a gold band that has no stones

[absolutblue]

[KingArthurFlour]

There are a lot of pastry schools in California. Try a Google search to see what is nearby.

i want to be a chef . and i want to study at school ,too but my english is not good .

[LIVERLADD]

I would love to learn to bake from them two master bakers

[hbchambe212]

i used to want to be a chef. but i ended up working in a hospital

[fulongfromthegrave]

Same for me, but i ended up as a translator... life's a bitch... -__-

[cheegum]

id love to be a translator.. but the 2 languages i know apart from english.. 1 has way too many translators, and the other one doesnt have anyone needing translations :)))

[fulongfromthegrave]

well you don't know that do you? Actually, every language needs translating or interpreting! If your interested in linguistics, you can also learn new languages, it's never too late! And I love my job, really, it's just not as funky as chef... ;)

[aphilbeck8]

It makes my family happy to see me making fresh bread. I loved watching this It was a blessing. Thanks!

[kassandrakassan]

Chef,I am an actress and Hollywood but not a cook. When I make bread I use 3 cups of flour and 1 1/2 of water, but la recette of the baguette is 1kg flour for 640mg of water. Why do one must use more water to create baguette than bread? Is it because it is thinner than a bread and must have more humidity to devlop? to do the sheese bread, must I use bread dought 3c. flour +1 1/2 w or must I use the baguette dough. My bread dough rest all night where my baguette dough can only rest 2 hours.

[hothothotsummer]

Ok bake at 500F for how many minutes?

[Mikefrommd]

look at the color, remember the same color as when they took theirs out, then take out yours.

[mskerripa]

this recipe i have never tryed

you make it look easy !!!

[meowandmeow]

why the hell did i watch this?

[kbusses]

Chef! Does it matter what type of cheese is used for baking the bread?

[XanatharEye]

I am a chef. You could use any cheese with a moisture content similar to Gruyere, such as aged cheddar, reggiano parmesan, a asiago stravakio, whatever you got really. But Gruyere lends itself extremely well to french bread like this, because of its intense nutty aroma.

[moiseman]

never seen a cheese bread, and i am french.

[ractac0]

never seen a cheese bread!

[XanatharEye]

[crystalpei]
