Chef Clodagh McKenna’s Seeded Cheddar Bread with Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese

Описание: This Seeded Cheddar Bread from Chef Codagh McKenna is filled with shredded Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese and topped with eight different types of seeds. It’s the perfect addition to your summer brunch menu or served as an afternoon indulgence (spread with Kerrygold Butter, of course).

INGREDIENTS:
For the bread
12oz wholemeal flour
7oz plain all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon of salt
12floz milk
9floz natural or Greek yogurt
4.5oz Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese, grated

For the topping:
½ teaspoon pumpkin seeds
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
½ teaspoon poppy seeds
½ teaspoon linseeds
½ teaspoon sunflower seeds
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon chia seeds
½ teaspoon mustard seeds

METHOD:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 430°F/gas mark 7.

2. Sift the white flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the wholemeal flour, followed by the grated cheese and, with clean hands, mix until combined. Make a well in the centre of the bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and milk and slowly pour into the well of dried ingredients. Use your free hand to mix the flour into the yoghurt and milk, try and spread your fingers far apart so it resembles a trough. Make sure that there are no dry patches and that the dough is completely wet.

4. Pat your hands with flour and shape the dough into one round. Place on a floured baking tray. Flour a large knife and cut a vertical cross and then a diagonal cross, which should create eight wedges (like cake slices). Make sure you only cut about two-thirds of the way through the dough. Using a pastry brush, brush the whole loaf with some of the milk and yogurt mixture, this will give a lovely golden colour to the bread once baked. Then sprinkle the seeds on each of the wedges. It should start to look like a flower.

5. Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F/gas mark 4 for a further 25 minutes. To test whether the loaf is cooked, tap with your knuckles; it should sound hollow. Once cooked, leave to cool on a cooling rack.
