Cheesy Herb Bread

Cheesy Herb Bread

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

    • 240 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 150 milliliters warm milk (about 3/5 cup)

For the Filling:

    • 150 grams grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • Bunch of parsley, chopped
  • Small bunch of dill, chopped

For Cooking:

  • 60 grams butter, melted

Instructions:

    1. Create the Dough:
        • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

      • Gradually add the warm milk while stirring with a spoon or spatula.
      • Once all the milk is incorporated, use your hands to knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a separate bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill. This mixture will add bursts of flavor and color to your bread.
  2. Assemble and Fill:
      • Divide the dough into two equal portions.

      • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into a thin circle.
      • Brush the rolled-out dough with half of the melted butter.
      • Evenly spread the cheese and herb mixture over the buttered dough, leaving a small border around the edge.

  3. Double the Doughy Goodness:
      • Roll out the second portion of dough to a similar size as the first.
      • Carefully place this dough round on top of the filling, pressing down gently to seal the edges and enclose the cheesy goodness inside.

  4. Pan-Frying Perfection:
      • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
      • Add a bit of the remaining melted butter to coat the bottom of the pan.

    • Once hot, carefully transfer the assembled cheese bread to the pan.
  5. Golden Goodness:
      • Cook the bread for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

    • The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
  6. Slice and Savor:
      • Carefully transfer the cooked bread to a cutting board and slice it into wedges.

    • Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Cheese Bread!
