Italian Garlic/Pepper Bread

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3 Cups Water
1 1/4 Teaspoons Salt
1 Teaspoon Sugar
3 Cups Bread flour
2 1/2 Teaspoons Yeast
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder -- (or to taste)
1/2 Teaspoon Very coarsely ground pepper
-(or to taste)
1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese -- UP TO 1 C
-cut in 1/2 inch squares.

Add the final three ingredients as late as possible in the final kneading
stage. The bread is better if the islands of cheese are identifiable and if
the pepper does not get GROUND into the dough by the kneading process.

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

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