Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1.25 tsp active dry yeast
0.25 cup + 2 tbsp warm water (38°C / 100F)
0.75 cup + 2 tbsp bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
0.25 tsp salt
0.25 tsp fried red chilli flakes
0.5 cup cheese blend of your choice
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried herbs mix

Method

Make sure the water is warm (not hot). Optimum temperature is 38°C/100°F. Stir in the yeast and let it activate and froth up.
In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Make a well in the center.
Add the activated yeast into the well and knead to a soft, smooth ball until it springs back when pressed.
Cover with a damp cloth and place in some place warm to rise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Line a baking sheet with foil and spread a little oil on the base.
Punch down the risen dough and shape into a 4 inch log. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Towards the end of rise time, preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
Bake the risen log in the preheated oven at 400°F/200°C for about 25 minutes, until it's golden brown.
Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Serve either toasted or at room temperature. Keeps well for about 2 days if stored loosely wrapped at room temperature.
