This bread has incredible flavor! Rather than grating the cheese, I shredded it in large shreds, hoping to keep some larger bits in the bread. I let the KitchenAid do all the kneading, while I worked on the rest of the bottle of Chardonnay. :) Fantastic recipe, winkki--thanks to your aunt for sharing it, and to you for posting it!

This is a good and simple recipe. I used it with baked brie with mushrooms and onions and I also toasted it for bruschetta. It makes a fabulous brushcetta bread because it dries out quickly, I found. Also I didn't really find it had a wine taste to it so next time I just might substitute the wine for water and drink the wine myself! Thank you. I'll use it again.

Excellent taste, excellent texture, easy to make. I made 2 baguette-size loaves, ate one and froze one. Used asiago cheese instead of monterey jack, just personal taste. Also I divided it in two, rolled it flat, buttered it, sprinkled it with parsley and herbs and rolled it tightly before letting it raise, then sprinkled with grated Asiago and chives. Great for bruschetta. Perfect for spreads of any kind. An all around excellent recipe, interesting in that it uses wine in the dough. Freezes quite well.
