Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Strong white bread flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 10 g Caster sugar
- 10 g Salt
- 300 ml Warm water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Marmite
- 150 g Mature cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Milk (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, yeast, caster sugar, and salt. Stir the ingredients together thoroughly.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Shape the kneaded dough into a ball, place it in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.
Spread the Marmite evenly over the surface of the dough using a spoon or spatula, leaving a 1-cm border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the Marmite layer.
Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other, like a Swiss roll. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck the ends under to create a loaf shape.
Place the rolled loaf seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased loaf tin. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Just before baking, brush the loaf lightly with milk to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
