  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl then add in the remaining flour.
  • Beat on low speed for a couple of minutes until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Continue to mix for a further two minutes.
  • Grease a bowl then place the dough into the bowl coating all sides of the dough with the oil to prevent sticking. Cover with cling film and place somewhere warm to rise for around 1.5-2 hours until doubled in size.

  • Grease and flour a loaf tine.
  • Once risen, deflate the dough then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll into a rectangle of approximately 9 x 15 “.

  • Sprinkle with the cheese leaving a half an inch border all the way round the edge of the dough.

  • Score the top of the loaf then cover with cling film and allow to rest for 30 minutes during which time it will rise a little more again.

  • If the top of the loaf is becoming too dark, cover with foil.
  • Cool for ten minutes in the pan then turn onto a wire rack.
  • I sometimes add cooked and crumbled bacon pieces into this with the cheese which is also delicious!
    Heats up well in the microwave when a day or two old.
