Whole Wheat Spicy Cheese Bread Recipe – #BreadBakers

This month’s Bread Bakers host Sue of Palatable Pastime suggested that we bake bread with cheese. Bread Bakers is a group of bloggers who love baking bread. We take turns in hosting the event every month with a chosen theme by the host. As the themes are really interesting, I take part every month. This way I can bake some breads for Sruti. This month, as the theme is cheese bread, I decided to make a whole wheat bread with lots of cheese inside. The condition is the bread should have the cheese inside, not as topping. As I have a cast iron skillet, I wanted to make the bread in it. The recipe is a basic wheat bread dough. To give it a spicy flavour, I added coriander, mint, garlic and green chillies paste to the dough. For filling I used a combination of Mozzarella and Cheddar, but you can use any cheese you have at hand. The bread turned out to be so flavourful and the texture was so good. I am really happy that I am getting the hang of whole wheat in my breads. Sruti loved it so much. As she is the only one who is tasting this, I kept the remaining bread cling wrapped in fridge. The required portion is then reheated in MW.

Baking bread with wheat flour is comparatively easier than all purpose flour. When APF is used you need to knead the dough for 10 minutes to get the perfect consistency. But with wheat flour, you need to knead it only for 2-3 minutes. Over kneading tends to make the bread so rustic and the top is always cracked. I found this accidentally and from then I never knead the wheat dough so much. If the climate is hot, then the proving takes just 45 minutes to one hour, but if the weather is cold, then the proving time would increase. Make sure that the dough is double in size. Over proving always makes the dough weak and you will end up with a flat bread. For the spice, you can use your favourite. Sruti loves the green chutney flavour, so I use it in recipes. But use whatever you like. Just keep the base recipe same and give variety by varying the spice and cheese in the bread.
