Cheese Loaf Recipe


Cheese Loaf Recipe

1 teaspoon sugar
2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 package active dry yeast
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup grated cheddar cheese


Dissolve the sugar in a little of the water. Sprinkle the yeast on top and leave in a warm place for about 20 minutes or until frothy.

Put the flour, salt, mustard and cheese in a bowl and mix well. Add the yeast liquid and remaining water and mix to a soft dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, then leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Knead the dough lightly to knock out any air bubbles, then shape it into a loaf. Put it into a greased 500 g/1 lb (4 ½ X 2 ½ X 1 ½ inch) loaf pan. Leave to rise in a warm place until the dough rises to the top of the pan.
Bake in a preheated hot oven (220*C/425*F, Gas mark 7) for 10 minutes then reduce the temperature to moderately hot (190*C/375*F, Gas mark 5) and continue baking for 35 minutes.
