20161101_192338

Quick Cheese Bread—adapted from Cook’s Illustrated, May & June 2004

Ingredients:

  • 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, about 1 cup shredded
  • 3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 T. baking powder
  • ¼ t. to ½ t. Cajun seasoning
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1/8 t. ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1-1/4 c. whole milk
  • 3 T. butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten lightly
  • ¾ c. sour cream

Method:

Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, sprinkle ½ c. Parmesan evenly in bottom of pan.

In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to combine. Using rubber spatula, mix in cheddar until cheese is coated with flour. In medium bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and sour cream. Using rubber spatula, gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined (batter will be heavy and thick). Do not overmix. Scrape batter into prepared loaf pan; spread to sides of pan and level surface with rubber spatula. Sprinkle remaining ½ c. Parmesan evenly over surface.

Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick or skewer inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. (When testing the bread for doneness, if the toothpick comes out with what looks like uncooked batter clinging to it, try again in a different—but still central—spot; if the toothpick hits a pocket of cheese, it may give a false indication.) Cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes; invert loaf from pan. Turn loaf right side up on cooling rack. Continue to cool until warm, about 45 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.

Yields: About 8-10 slices

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Numerous Iowa law enforcement agencies will participate in special Thanksgiving holiday traffic enforcement effort next week. The Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau enforcement program begins Sunday and runs through Nov. 27 and will coincide with a nationwide “Click It or Ticket” campaign. The goal of the campaign is to increase the awareness of and compliance with Iowa’s seat belt and child restraint laws.

This year alone, Iowa has seen more than 335 traffic fatalities, and nearly half of those involved people not wearing a seat belt. Over the 2015 holiday, five people were killed on Iowa roads.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – West Des Moines Dowling Catholic rode Jacob Zachary’s power running to yet another state championship, defeating Iowa City West 23-10.

Zachary rambled for 194 yards in 27 carries Friday night and scored twice as Dowling won its fourth consecutive Class 4A title.

No other 4A school has won more than two consecutive championships.

Dallas McCarthy’s 23-yard field goal gave Dowling a 16-10 halftime lead, Jayson Murray scored from 8 yards out midway through the third quarter and the defense did the rest, holding West to 57 yards rushing and 253 total yards.

Martin scored West’s only touchdown on an 85-yard kickoff return late in the first quarter.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 4:55 a.m. CST

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Linn County’s top prosecutor is calling for a grand jury investigation into the police shooting of a man earlier this month. Television station KCRG reports that County Attorney Jerry Vander Sanden said Friday in a news release that “it would be in the public interest” for a grand jury to determine whether criminal charges are warranted. Officer Lucas Jones shot and seriously injured Jerime Mitchell on Nov. 1 near Coe College.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — As many as 150 juveniles in Iowa prisons for felonies including kidnapping and attempted murder will get their sentences shortened by years as a result of an Iowa Supreme Court decision. The court ruled Friday that juveniles convicted of forcible felonies who had been resentenced from mandatory minimum terms to a set period of years should be given credit for good behavior at a much faster pace.

DALLAS (AP) — Gov. Jack Dalrymple says he’s asking the Army Corps of Engineers to speed up a decision on whether to grant an easement for the Dakota Access oil pipeline to cross the Missouri River in southern North Dakota. Dalrymple says increasingly frequent protests against the pipeline have created “a tremendously challenging, tremendously difficult situation.” Numerous protests have been held at sites in the capital city this week, including the state Capitol and the state-owned Bank of North Dakota.

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (AP) — A former Deere and Company employee from Iowa has admitted to defrauding the Illinois company out of at least $250,000 over a nine-year period. The Quad-City Times reports that 63-year-old Harvey Ulfers of Cedar Falls, Iowa pleaded guilty Thursday to various wire fraud and money laundering charges. A co-defendant, 46-year-old Patrick W. Williams of Cedar Falls, pleaded guilty to a money-laundering conspiracy charge in April.
