Christmas bread

Ingredients

·         3 cups all-purpose flour

·         2 teaspoons baking powder

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         8 ounces provolone cheese, grated

·         4 eggs, beaten

·         1/2 cup evaporated milk

·         3 large garlic cloves, minced

·         1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper

·         1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Method

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and cheese. Add beaten eggs, reserving 2 tablespoons for glazing the bread before baking. Mix in the evaporated milk, garlic and vegetables, stirring to make a soft dough.

Turn out the dough onto a will-floured surface and form it into a smooth ball. Roll the ball into a log shape about 10 inches long. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Brush with reserved beaten egg.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown. Cool thoroughly. To serve, cut into very thin slices.

Yield: One 10-inch loaf, about 16 thin slices
