Recipe: Three Cheese Twist (bread machine dough cycle)

THREE CHEESE TWIST

FOR THE DOUGH:
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons yeast
FOR THE FILLING:
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Measure all dough ingredients into bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Process on dough/manual cycle.

TO SHAPE AND FILL:
When cycle is complete, remove dough to floured surface. If necessary, knead in additional flour to make dough easy to handle. Roll dough to 18x12-inch rectangle.

Combine filling ingredients and sprinkle to within 1/2 inch of edges. Beginning at long end, roll up tightly; pinch seam to seal. Place, seam side down, on large greased baking sheet.

With sharp knife, cut lengthwise down center of roll, about 1 inch deep to within 1/2 inch of ends. Keeping cut side on top, form into "S" shape. Tuck both ends under center of "S" to form a "figure 8"; pinch dough to join. Cover; let rise in dark, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes covering with aluminum foil after 25 minutes to prevent excess browning. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
