Cornmeal in the dough gives the bread an appealing, slightly crunchy texture.

Yield Makes 4 breads (2 servings per bread)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeños
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Arugula Salad with Lemon-Pepper Dressing

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients in bowl. Rub in butter with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in cheeses. Using fork, mix in 2/3 cup water and vinegar until moist dough forms. Cover; chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Gently knead dough on floured surface until smooth, about 10 turns. Divide into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece to 9-inch round. Spray small ovenproof skillet or 8-inch-diameter cake pan with vegetable oil spray. Place 1 dough round into bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of skillet. Bake until light golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to large baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough rounds. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover loosely with foil. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F. oven for 5 minutes.) Top with Arugula Salad. Cut into wedges.
