Snowman Cheese Bread

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp yeast

1 cup warm water

1 Tbsp honey

2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp olive oil or canola oil

3 cups flour (I used 2 cups white and 1 cup wheat flour)

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic salt

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Start by dissolving the yeast with the warm water. Add the honey. Let sit for a couple of minutes, until the mixture starts to bubble. 

Add the salt, oil, and 1 cup of flour. Stir with a wooden spoon. Slowly add the remaining flour. Knead with the hook attachment on your mixer for about 8 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes. 

Grease the mixing bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about an hour in a warm location (or until doubled). I warm my oven by setting it to 170 degrees for 30 seconds. I then turn the oven off and place the dough in the warm oven. 

When doubled, punch the dough down and place on a surface that is lightly covered with corn meal or flour. Shape into a snowman. 

Spread about 1 Tbsp. of butter over the dough. Then spread on about 1 Tbsp. of olive oil.  

Top with about 1 tsp. of garlic salt, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese. I cut bacon for a hat, eyes, nose, mouth, and buttons. (I decided not to bake the bread with the bacon pieces. I just used them as a decoration when serving.) 

Bake at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. Replace the bacon and serve with pizza sauce or ranch as a dipping sauce.
