- Add the active yeast to the flour and knead the dough. Use the luke warm water if requried.
- Leave the dough to rise and cover the container with a moist cloth (for thirty minutes or so)
- After the first rise, take the dough onto a flat surface and punch it with your index finger
- Put the moist cloth back and leave it in a warm, dry place for the second rise (take around 40 minutes)
- Line the container ( you wish to bake your bread in ) with a little flour
- Transfer the dough to the container and leave it covered with the cloth for another 10 minutes
- Brush a mixture of milk and water onto the set dough for a beautiful crust
- Preheat your oven at 375 F and bake the bread for 20-25 minutes. (keep checking cos each oven is different)
- Pat lightly to check if its done.( A hollow sound means the bread is all set and done)
- Let it cool for a few minutes before you slice
Look at the lovely crust, and do u see the yummy cheese in every slice...Bake it and let me know how it turned out..:)
Serving Suggestion
You have a wonderful Savory bread to devor with a bowl of hot soup and roasted potatoes or plantain
Trivia:
- Cheddar alone could be used for this bread
- You could rub in a piece of garlic and sprinkle some mozzarella and drizzle some olive oil on top and leave it in the microwave for a minute or two for a yummy batch of home made garlic bread
oh!! thats yummy for sure... :)
