A Visit to Dave’s Killer Breadquarters

 

It’s no secret that around here we love cheese and bread grilled to melty perfection! So when we were generously offered the opportunity to visit our friends over at the Dave’s Killer Breadquarters, another Oregon company built on quality, we jumped at the chance! Before we even entered the facility we could smell the sweetness of the baking bread! It wasn’t until our friends Dan and Adam showed us around the bread floor that we realized just how complex and detailed the whole process was. The whole team of breadmakers work diligently to make sure every loaf of bread is perfectly coated with grains and baked to perfection!

Dave’s Killer Bread was founded back in 2005 by Dave Dahl. Before his delicious bread baking days, he was a self-proclaimed four-time loser (read his incredible story here). With unflappable dedication and hard work, he and his team have created an amazing whole-grain bread that makes for a dangerously addicting combination with Tillamook Cheese.

With some delicious Dave’s Killer Bread in hand as we left, naturally, we immediately went back to the office to cook up some grilled cheese sandwiches! Take a look – there might be some Dave’s Killer Bread in your neighborhood too!

Chunk of Cheese Bread

 

Try this delicious fall recipe!

I have been having a hard time saying goodbye to summer, the warm weather, the sun setting after 9:00pm and the endless bowls of ice cream. To help me cope with the changing seasons, I started to think about all the recipes that have been waiting patiently to be made once cooler weather settled in. I love classic fall recipes like pumpkin soup, mac and cheese, and homemade apple pie. There’s nothing better than a kitchen warmed by the oven and the smell of something warm and gooey baking from within. While summer has a lot of positive things going for it, it is just too darn hot to have the over cranking out these fall classics. So, with fall officially upon us, I pulled down my grandmother’s recipes, handed down for countless generations and flipped right to the bread section. The first fall recipe made had to be Chunk of Cheese Bread. The dough is rich and dark thanks to molasses and the cubes of cheese dot the entire loaf making each bite a warm comforting taste of all things cozy. Below is my grandmother’s recipe! Do you have a favorite fall recipe? Share it with us!

Chunk of Cheese Bread
Makes 2 loafs

1 ¾ cup Water
½ corn meal
2 teaspoons salt
Bring to a boil, stirring all the time until thick.
½ cup molasses
2 tab butter
Add molasses and butter to the corn meal mixture then cool to warm. It needs to be cool enough so as not to kill the yeast.
1 package yeast
½ cup warm water
2 cups flour
Add yeast, water and flour to corn meal mixture. Beat for two minutes in a bowl with spoon.
4 to 4 ¾ cups flour
Add flour to other mixture until incorporated. Let raise for two hours.
4 cups cheese cubed

Directions
Divide dough in two. Roll out to 12 inch circle then add half the cheese cubes to each circle of dough, covering the entire surface. Push the cubes into the dough so they are partially embedded into the dough. Fold edges of dough over to cover cheese and create a round loaf of bread. Place each loaf into a 9 inch cake pan that has been covered in foil and buttered. Let raise one hour.

Bake at 350 for 45 to 60 minutes.
