This soft cheese loaf is made by adding plenty of Kashar cheese to yeasted dough, then baking it in a loaf shape. A practical favorite for breakfast and lunchboxes, it is satisfying even on its own, with melted cheese inside each slice.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Activate the Yeast

10 min

Add the yeast and sugar to the warm milk and let stand for 10 minutes. Foam on top is a sign that the yeast is active.

2

Knead the Dough

8 min

Knead the flour, salt, olive oil, and yeast mixture until you have a smooth, elastic dough.

3

Let the Dough Rise

60 min

Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes, until doubled in size.

4

Add the Cheese and Shape

7 min

Gently punch down the risen dough and knead in the grated Kashar cheese. Shape it into a loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking pan.

5

Bake

30 min

Brush the top with egg yolk and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C / 375°F for 30 minutes, until golden on top.

Reminder

Let the dough rise in a warm place away from drafts; a cold environment will slow the rise. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten), dairy, and eggs.

Hamuru mayalandırırken 60 dakika yazıyor ama benim mutfağım soğuk, kışın bu süre yetmeyebilir mi? Kaç dakikaya kadar uzatabilirim merak ediyorum, geçen sefer bir saat beklediğim halde hamur pek şişmemişti.

Soğuk mutfaklarda mayalanmayı 90 dakikaya kadar uzatabilirsiniz, önemli olan süre değil hamurun iki katına çıkmış olması; fırının kapalı ışığını yakıp hamuru içine koymak da hızlandırır.
