Ingredients:
For the Dough:
240 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
150 milliliters warm milk (about 3/5 cup)
For the Filling:
150 grams grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Bunch of parsley, chopped
Small bunch of dill, chopped
For Cooking:
60 grams butter, melted.
Instructions:
Create the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Gradually add the warm milk while stirring with a spoon or spatula.
Once all the milk is incorporated, use your hands to knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill. This mixture will add bursts of flavor and color to your bread.
Assemble and Fill:
Divide the dough into two equal portions.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into a thin circle.
Brush the rolled-out dough with half of the melted butter.
Evenly spread the cheese and herb mixture over the buttered dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Double the Doughy Goodness:
Roll out the second portion of dough to a similar size as the first.
Carefully place this dough round on top of the filling, pressing down gently to seal the edges and enclose the cheesy goodness inside.
Pan-Frying Perfection:
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add a bit of the remaining melted butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
Once hot, carefully transfer the assembled cheese bread to the pan.
Golden Goodness:
Cook the bread for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
Slice and Savor:
Carefully transfer the cooked bread to a cutting board and slice it into wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Cheese Bread!
