Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 10 g Granulated sugar
- 8 g Salt
- 300 ml Warm water
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 150 g Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 30 g Dijon mustard
- 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a rough dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Flatten the dough slightly and spread the Dijon mustard evenly across the surface. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mustard.
5. Fold the dough over the mustard and cheese, then knead gently to incorporate the fillings. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
6. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
7. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
8. After the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf or your desired bread shape. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Brush the top of the bread with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
11. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
