Parmesan Pepper Wreath

Recipe:

1 1/4 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
2 packages Active Dry Yeast
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
3 1/2 to 4 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Egg
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg white, lightly beaten
Additional Black Pepper, optional

Place 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until
dissolved. Add remaining water, sugar, pepper, salt, and 1 cup flour;
blend well. Stir in whole egg, Parmesan cheese, and enough remaining flour
to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and
elastic,
about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover;
let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45
minutes.

Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide into 3
equal pieces. Roll each piece to 28-inch rope; braid ropes. Place on
greased baking sheet. Form braid into circle; pinch ends together to seal.
Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20
to 40 minutes.

Brush loaf with egg white. Sprinkle with additional pepper, if desired.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet;
let cool on wire rack.
