Feta Pull-Apart Bread
Ingredients
- 7g dried yeast
- 1 cup milk, warm (1/2 cup milk extra)
- 1/2 lemon, rind finely grated
- 4 cup bread & pizza plain flour
- 150g Greek feta, crumbled
- 2 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 bunch thyme, leaves removed, chopped
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 2/3 cup mozzarella, grated
Method
- Combine flour, yeast, sugar and sea salt flakes in a large bowl. Add milk and 1/2 cup warm water and stir until combined and a dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth. Place into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and place in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 20x10cm (7cm deep) loaf pan. Mash feta and 1/3 cup of the extra milk together in a bowl until smooth. Add mozzarella, thyme and lemon rind.
- Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Roll out each portion until 1cm thick. Using a 6cm round cutter, cut 10 rounds from each portion.
- Spread feta mixture onto half of the dough rounds and sandwich together with plain rounds. Stand ‘sandwiches’ up in the prepared pan. Stand in a warm place for 30 minutes or until risen. Brush top with remaining milk and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Serve.
