• MY NOTE: Chunks of cheese--decadently & artfully tossed o'er the dough--will have your family grappling for the pan before it's out of the oven! Dip this into potato soup or clam chowder for a scrump-dillicious flavor explosion OR toast the slices and use for ham sandwiches with the cheese baked right in the dough. Marcy Goldman *Passion For Baking* came up with this recipe and says that THIS recipe is worth the price of her book! I agree and you will too. NOTE: Prep time includes TWO RISINGS--plan ahead!!!
