This is an easy recipe for Swiss Emmental Bread, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's a great bread side that goes well with almost any Swiss or German-themed dinner. The recipe is really Swiss, not German (there isn't a Swiss category; German was the closest cuisine category to fit this recipe, so I selected it.
