I love this bread as a snack mid-morning. It satisfies in so many ways. Its texture is more like a savoury biscuit and really good. Olives and feta cheese are perfect companions. Ingredients:
4 cups self-rising flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 cup greek yogurt (sub with sour cream if you can't get the greek yoghurt) |
3/4 cup butter, melted |
5 eggs |
1 lb feta, crumbled or cut into tiny pieces |
1 cup kalamata olive, pitted, halved |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
3. Beat eggs, yoghurt and baking powder together.
4. Add butter and eggs to mixture and beat well.
5. Add feta cheese, olives and flour and knead mixture until dough easily comes off hands Add olive oil.
6. Separate dough into 3 equal portions.
7. Shape into 3 balls and place on oiled baking sheet.
8. Press down with palm, to flatten slightly.
9. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and press again lightly to make them ‘stick’.
10. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until cheese breads sound hollow when tapped on bottom.
