😋 Yum
is that 2,5 dl beer?
I made this bread last evening. I used hard salami, pepperoni and prosciutto meats and my meats were sliced. I didn't think I'd care for the thick cubed meat version or the version with the pepper in it. And my beer was brown beer. Other than that, exactly the same. And great. Will make it again like today.
Looks fantastic !! I love this bread ❤️ I will definitely make your recipe !! Thank you
I can’t wait to make this !!
The Brooklyn Bread! Can’t hardly wait to make it.
i made it this week. absolutely delicious!
I cannot wait to make this, ATK. I've been housesitting for my sister, and we've kept on the ATK channel, nearly 24hrs for our pug, to keep her company. When I'm home and eating my meals, I've become obsessed with your channel, especially this recipe. I'll be making this, this coming week, and I cannot wait. Thank you for sparking a love of cooking in me, something I've NEVER been interested in. I love eating out, but eating in? Mmmmm, not so much. Now? Yes, please.
Something like this make a good meals for a day trip or going to the beach. A nice hand held snack/meal.
What if you don't have a stand mixer? Can you do it by hand?
Gonna make this so I could break bread and drink wine with my best friend like Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro in the Irishman. 😅
Made this today. Looked perfect but my crust was soft not crispy so I was disappointed. I did use convection so that might have made the difference. I will try again in regular heat mode. All and all delicious dipped in olive oil.
Born and 'Bread' Bred 😄😂🤣😆😋
in Brooklyn, Bklyn NY my 15 year old son Jarett abd I made this incredible Brooklyn bread today. Thanks Brian

This called cicala bread in the Bronx
The delis have gotten into the habit of cutting the fat off before slicing
Any one get that recipe????? I cant open the link because you have to pay to join
I just watched an Italian restaurant on DDD/Food Network make it with Prosciutto, Mortadella, Pepperoni and Capacolla. They folded it up and it looked like a cinnamon swirl bread after it baked.
I have a recipe for this I've made about a handful of times but you've given me a GREAT tip : I always struggle with the thin prosciutto but with your tip, from now on when I make it I'm going to go to the deli and order it thickly sliced! Brilliant. Isn't it utterly delicious?
This bread is Meh.
OMG it has been so long since I've had a good piece of lard bread… I miss Brooklyn, I will have to try this recipe at home
Does ATK answer any posted questions?
Brings back memories 😊
I'm going to make this bread every Sunday morning.
When I make mine it's over stuffed, it's delish!
Super
Thanks again
Great 👍
Thanks
I've made this . So GOOD!! ENJOY!
To make this bread extra-meaty, it all came down to the cut of prosciutto. Thinly sliced deli meat got wadded up and swallowed by the dough, but thicker slabs cut into ½-inch pieces proved to be just right. Using a combination of three meats—prosciutto, capicola, and pepperoni—along with some provolone cheese gave each bite a satisfying, savory mix of flavors. We added beer to boost the yeasty, fermented flavor of the bread without having to let it rise all day and opted for bread flour, with its high protein content, to form a strong gluten structure
3 cups (16 1/2 ounces) bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons instant or rapid-rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mild lager, room temperature
6 tablespoons water, room temperature
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces (1/4-inch-thick) provolone cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 ounces (1/4-inch-thick) sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 ounces (1/4-inch-thick) sliced pepperoni, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 ounces (1/4-inch-thick) sliced capicola, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 ½ teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
Cornmeal
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
We love the combination of prosciutto, pepperoni, and capicola in this bread, but you can use 9 ounces of any combination of your favorite cured meats; just be sure to have each sliced ¼ inch thick at the deli counter. Do not use thinly sliced deli meats and cheese, as they will adversely affect the bread's texture. Use a mild lager, such as Budweiser; strongly flavored beers will make this bread taste bitter.
1
INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk flour, yeast, and salt together in bowl of stand mixer. Whisk beer, room-temperature water, and oil together in 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
2
Fit mixer with dough hook. Mix flour mixture on low speed while slowly adding beer mixture until cohesive dough starts to form and no dry flour remains, about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium and knead until dough is smooth and elastic and clears sides of bowl, about 8 minutes.
3
Reduce speed to low and add provolone, prosciutto, pepperoni, capicola, and pepper. Continue to knead until combined, about 2 minutes longer (some meats and cheese may not be fully incorporated into dough at this point; this is OK). Transfer dough and any errant pieces of meats and cheese to lightly floured counter and knead by hand to evenly incorporate meats and cheese into dough, about 1 minute.
4
Form dough into smooth, round ball and place seam side down in lightly greased large bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1½ hours.
5
Line baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with cornmeal. Turn out dough onto counter and gently press down to deflate any large air pockets. Cut dough into 2 even pieces. Press each piece of dough into 8 by 5-inch rectangle with long side parallel to counter's edge.
6
Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, fold top edge of rectangle down to midline, pressing to seal. Fold bottom edge of rectangle up to midline and pinch to seal. Flip dough seam side down and gently roll into 12-inch loaf with tapered ends. Transfer loaf to 1 side of prepared sheet. Repeat shaping with second piece of dough and place loaf about 3 inches from first loaf on sheet. Cover with greased plastic and let rise at room temperature until puffy and dough springs back slowly when pressed lightly with your finger, about 45 minutes.
7
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Using sharp paring knife in swift, fluid motion, make ½-inch-deep lengthwise slash along top of each loaf, starting and stopping about 1½ inches from ends. Bake until loaves register 205 to 210 degrees, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer loaves to wire rack and let cool completely, about 3 hours. Serve.
8
TO MAKE AHEAD: Make dough through step 3, form into ball, and place seam side down in lightly greased large bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 16 hours or up to 24 hours. Let dough come to room temperature, about 3 hours, before proceeding with step five.
Pretty annoying to have to log in every time I want to see the recipe
This bread looks incredible! How about of side of Marinara for dipping! Yum! Tortano-for Easter?!
Proshoota bread? Ignorant peasant.
