Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 100 grams Low fat cream cheese
- 2 large Egg
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 10 grams Fresh dill
- 10 milliliters Lemon juice
- 2 grams Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, blend the low-fat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the low-fat milk and beat until you have a smooth mixture.
Chop the smoked salmon and fresh dill finely then gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture along with lemon juice and black pepper.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread and enjoy! It pairs well with a light spread of additional cream cheese or a sprinkle of extra dill.
