DIRECTIONS:

Add the final three ingredients ans late as possible in the final kneadin= g stage. The bread is better if the islands of cheese are identifiable a= nd if the pepper does not get GROUND into the dough by the kneading proce= ss.

I enjoyed this bread at an Italian restaurant, so I tried to match it as= close as I could. Used the basic recipe fro Italian bread in “The Bread= Machine Cookbook” (#1) and addedthe garlic and pepper.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Please let me know of your imp= rovements on this very basic recipe
