Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of warm tap water
  • 1 tsp of sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp of fast-rising yeast
  • 2 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. of salt
  • 1 cup of ricotta cheese do not drain the liquid!
  • Non stick cooking spray for metal or glass bread pans

Method
 

  1. Proof the yeast by placing the yeast, sugar, and water into the bowl of your stand mixer. Once it bubbles, it activates. So you are ready to move on to adding other ingredients. If it fails to bubble up, try one more time; if it still doesn't work, you need to open a fresh container of yeast.

  2. Add all the remaining ingredients to the stand mixer bowl. Use your dough hook to mix it together on a medium speed until you form a soft ball. Note: this dough is very moist, due to the fat content of the ricotta. Turn the dough into a greased pan if you use glass or metal bakeware. If you use stoneware, you can skip the cooking spray.

  3. Loosely cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about two hours. Put it in a warm, draft-free spot; it will double in size.

  4. Heat your oven to 400°. Bake the bread, uncovered, for 30 minutes. It will become a lovely golden brown color on top.

  5. Remove the bread from the oven, turn it onto a cooling rack and cover it with a clean, lint-free tea towel. Slice into 12 to 14 slices after it cools completely. Enjoy!
