Cheese Bread

Tonight's post is a perfect midweek recipe. My mum used to make this cheese bread for my lunchbox and every time I smell it cooking I feel like I'm 8 years old again! This is a really easy bread recipe, mixed in one go with no yeast means no rising - in fact it's more like a cake batter than a bread dough which means its super quick to make. Within 30 minutes you'll have a soft, crumbly, cheesy loaf of joy! Amazing when warm spread with melty butter, and even better to look forward to in your lunchbox! 

Ingredients:

75g margarine
225g wholemeal bread flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder 

1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

1 egg

75g mature cheddar cheese

120ml (8 tbsp) milk

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190°C, grease and line a loaf tin.

2. Place all the ingredients in a deep bowl and beat together until thoroughly mixed. 

3. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, adding a little grated cheese to the top of the bread after 20 minutes of baking. Turn onto a wire rack to cool, but this is definitely best eaten warm!
