Savoury Supper Bread

Simple. Savoury. Delicious.

Making bread doesn’t need to be complicated… time consuming or even made with yeast! The fact that making a yeast bread (or yeast anything!) scares me half to death is a testament to how SIMPLE this supper bread is!

And as for the SAVOURY factor, I looked to a little onion, a few leeks for colour, some sharp cheddar cheese, flax seed and a sprinkle of thyme for inspiration.

Mix it with a little milk and whole wheat flour and you’ve got an entire LOAF of DELICIOUSNESS in about 30 minutes (and that includes the baking time!).

Mince, then saute 1 small white onion, 1/2 cup leeks (or chives), and 1 fat clove of garlic in a little olive oil. Once everything is softened (but not browned), remove from heat.

In a medium sized bowl, combine

1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg and 1 1 /2 cups whole wheat flour.

Mix well, then add 1 tsp baking soda, a pinch of salt and a bit of thyme and 1 cup grated old cheddar cheese. Mixture will be a little crumbly – don’t worry! Spread it evenly into a loaf pan which has been coated with a little cooking spray.

Lightly brush on 1 tbsp of olive oil on top and sprinkle with flax seeds. Bake at 400*F for 20 minutes.

With a loaf this good, you might forget to make the rest of supper!
