Cheese bread

 

This is delicious with soup, with a salad or just with lots of butter...........
I make it anytime I buy a cheese that turns out not to be so popular amongst the crew here, or anytime I seem to have an abundance of cheese!
Think of it as a cheese scone pretending to be a loaf of bread

111/2  ozs plain flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

31/2 ozs cheese..... strong cheddar works well , I usually use whatever has been hanging about in th fridge for more than a little while

7 fl ozs milk

2 eggs

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

2 flozs olive oil

Preheat oven to 180C (350F) 

lightly oil loaf tin

sift all the dry ingredients in to a bowl

add the grated cheeese and mix

Pour the milk eggs and mustard into a jug and whisk very lightly with a fork

add the liquid to the dry and mix well

You will get a fairly wet dough

scoop into tin

Bake for 50 mins 

remove from tin and bake for a further 10 mins

leave to cool

Great to bring on a picnic as we did last weekend ....... enjoy
