Baking with Dorie: Savory Cheddar-Chive Bread
I love the idea of layering this with tapenade. A very appealing recipe.

What a brilliantly simple idea.
I have a beach house where we go every other week-end and this will be a perfect source of great desserts. Unbaked crusts in the freezer, my husband's fabulous homemade jams in the pantry and whatever fruit looks luscious at the Aptos farmer's market on Saturday morning.
I just joined Serious Eats a few minutes ago -- and what a delight to see "Breakaway Cook" featured. I know Eric from an online community called The Well and am a HUGE fan.
So far I've bought 7 copies of the book-and soon will be ordering more as they make terrific gifts. I've been cooking for a lot of years, but this book gave me so many simple and delicious new ideas. The flavored salts are brilliant and the garlic confit is now a staple in my kitchen.
Yesterday I had an article in the SF Chronicle FOOD section on granitas--and Eric's recipe (Maple Ginger Granita) is one of the easiest and tastiest in the piece. In a few days I'll be posting a similar recipe he gave me for Lemongrass granita on my blog ("Margin Notes" http://caseyellis.blogspot.com)
You NEED this book. Trust me.
Actually, forget I asked that -- I just realized, of course, it's a bread. It's not going to do well in the fridge. :-)
Dori, I have a loaf of this sitting in the kitchen as I type and it is a cheese-lover's dream. Next time I might use a better quality cheddar, but as it is it's pretty darned wonderful.
How long do you think it would last in the fridge?

it’s the most powerful an easy to use.
Tellicherry -- with a name like yours, I'm not at all surprised that you added black pepper! Bet it was good.
Dorie, I made a variation of this bread this weekend and it was delicious! Instead of chives, I added several healthy coarse grinds of fresh cracked black pepper.
Chalmers -- your poor boyfriend, no cheese! I've never made this loaf without cheese - in fact, I created the recipe for the cheese - so I'm not sure how it would taste without its primary ingredient. My guess is that it would be drier. If you're going to make it sans cheese, try adding 2 more tablespoons of olive oil to the dough. (As I said, I haven't tried it, so if you do -- please let us know.)
JEP -- merci -- lots.
i8alot -- it's great that you made the loaf, greater that you liked it! I'm so happy.
caseyell -- sometimes I think tapenade is as controversial as licorice, a real love-it-or-loathe it ingredient, but if you love it, I think you'll love it with this loaf.
lexophile -- I've got a few more savory recipes that I'll be posting in the coming weeks, so I hope you'll stay tuned.
this sounds phenomenal. i prefer savory to sweet and can't wait to make this.
Whether it's a recipe or a 'travelogue' or a personal vignette that's being penned, you're an absolute joy to read. Thank you
Made this last night, can't stop eating it, and will definitely be making it again soon! I put some nuts into the crust as per the book recipe, wow is really all I can say, it's just THAT GOOD, and so simple. I would eat it with only the crust and jam if I had too! Thanks again!
The recipe reads wonderfully well and it seems "doable" with reasonable time and effort.
I like your Baking Book and enjoy your blog a lot. And thanks to you for leading me here in your blog today. I've spent a happy hour reading,
From your book - We've enjoyed excellent Biscotti - thanks!
