INGREDIENTS:

LOAF

Whole wheat flour - 250 gms (2 cups)
Active dry Yeast - 3 gm (1/2 tsp)
Sugar/Honey - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Water - 150 ml (3/4 cup)
Oil/Butter - 3 tbsps

FILLING

Cheese - 1 cup
Chilli flakes - 2 tsp

GARLIC BUTTER

Butter - 1/4 cup
Oregano/Dried herbs - 2 tbsp
Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves

METHOD:

GARLIC BUTTER:

In a bowl, mix melted butter, oregano and finely chopped garlic. Set aside.

LOAF

In a bowl, mix yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Mix flour, salt and the yeast mix. Start kneading while slowly adding water.

After kneading for some time, add the oil and knead for 5 to 10 minutes.

Transfer it onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes more.

Once the dough has been kneaded into a smooth, non-sticky ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover with cling wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise.

Once the dough has risen, punch the dough to release the excess gas.

Transfer it onto a floured surface and knead for 5 more minutes and shape it into a ball.

Using a rolling pin, gently press down on the dough and start to roll it out into a rough rectangular shape, about 1/4 of an inch thick.

Once you are happy with the shape, start lining one half of the dough with the cheese and top it off with the chilli flakes.

Fold the remaining dough over the cheese and pinch the edges shut to prevent the cheese from spilling.

Transfer onto a greased baking tray

Brush the loaf with Garlic butter.

Let the loaf rest for 20 minutes to rise again. In this time, preheat the over to 200 degree celsius.

Score the top of the loaf with a knife and bake at 200 degree Celsius for 20 minutes.

Once it's baked and golden brown, take it out of the oven, slice and serve.
Enjoy this treat while it is nice and warm.
