We have seen this cheese bread done when dining out and wanted to give it a try. It is a showy boule cheese loaf that would be great for when you are having company over for dinner. The bread is flaky on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Fresh chives are sprinkled over it for the flavor. This cheese bread would be great to serve with soup where you can simply tear off pieces to dip in your soup or served before a meal as an hors d’oeuvres. Would be fantastic with an alfredo sauce dip, simple pasta sauce or even in some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar with salt and pepper. Anyway you serve it this bread is delicious!
Cheese Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups organic flour
1/2 tsp dry yeast
1 Tbsp organic sugar
1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1 Tbsp of olive or coconut oil
1 1/2 cup Cheese
Chives
Instructions For Cheese and Chive Bread
I start with 9 ounces of warm not hot spring water in my bread machine. I add the rest of the ingredients except the yeast which I put on top. Put the machine on the dough setting.
When your cycle is finished remove your dough and make into a round shape. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover this with oiled plastic wrap and leave in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 425 F.
When oven has reached the correct temperature place your cookie sheet in the oven and bake bread for 40 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from oven and slice bread in a crosshatch design with a sharp knife leaving the base of the bread uncut. Stuff the sliced spaces with cheese and diced up chives and place back in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until melted. Serve this hot from the oven.
