Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  lukewarm milk
  • 1 pkg  (2-1/4 tsp/11 mL) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • Pinch each salt and pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups  plus 1 tbsp (390 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups  (375 mL)  seedless red or green grapes (about 8 oz/250 g)
  • 2 cups  (500 mL)  shredded extraold Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Place milk in mixing bowl; sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Using mixer with paddle or by hand, beat in butter, eggs, salt and pepper; beat in 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) of the flour.

Rinse grapes; drain and mix with 1 tbsp (15 mL) flour. Fold grapes and cheese into batter. Scrape mixture into parchment paper–lined 8-inch (20 cm) loaf pan. Cover with tea towel and let rise in warm place until batter almost reaches top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.

Bake in 350F/180C oven until top is browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to rack; let rest in pan for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from pan. Serve warm. (Make-ahead: Let cool; cover and leave at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Warm in hot oven.)

Makes 8 servings.
