Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams whole wheat flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 120 milliliters warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 30 milliliters low-fat milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and add honey. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add olive oil, salt, and half of the whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a loaf pan with a little olive oil.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to a rectangle approximately 20x30 cm (8x12 inches).
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, red pepper flakes, and low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the garlic herb cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Cut the dough lengthwise into 4 strips, then stack the strips on top of each other.
Cut the stacked strips into 6 equal parts. Place each stack piece into the prepared loaf pan, cut edges up.
Brush the tops with low-fat milk for a golden finish.
Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
