Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 0.5 cup low-fat crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water and honey until fully combined.
Gradually add the water mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until it forms a rough dough.
Add the non-fat plain Greek yogurt and mix until the dough becomes homogenous and slightly sticky.
Fold in the crumbled low-fat blue cheese gently to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a bowl lightly coated with olive oil spray, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the loaf loosely with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) during the second rise.
Once the loaf has risen, score the top of the dough with a sharp knife to create an ‘X’ shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
