Bread with feta cheese

Our family really likes this wheat bread, because it is soft, aromatic and very tasty. Delicate, slightly salty crumb and crispy thin crust beckon you to cut off a couple of pieces from the loaf and make a sandwich!

One of the secrets of this successful homemade bread is the use of soda water in the yeast dough. If you don't have one, you can replace it with mineral water (surely carbonated), but then do not put salt. In addition, feta cheese also adds saltiness to the finished bread.

According to the recipe for this delicious bread, you can use not only dry active yeast (add immediately to the flour), but fresh, pressed (20 grams) or dry (1.5 teaspoons). However, remember that they must be awakened in warm, highly carbonated water for 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour (450 grams)
• Sparkling water (250 milliliters)
• Bryndza cheese (100 grams)
• Sunflower oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Sugar (2 tablespoons)
• Fast acting yeast (7 grams)

Directions

1. The recipe for this simple delicious bread includes such products as: wheat flour, highly carbonated water, salt, sugar, yeast, feta cheese, refined vegetable oil (not necessarily sunflower oil - olive, rapeseed and others).
2. So, we wind wheat flour into a bowl, add dry active yeast and mix everything.
3. Then add salt, sugar and mix again.
4. Pour in slightly warmed, highly carbonated water and knead the dough so that the flour is moistened.
5. Now we chop the cheese into the dough with our hands.
6. Stir and pour in vegetable oil.
7. Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes with your hands, until it turns into a smooth, soft and elastic bun. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 2 hours. After an hour, we knead the dough and again send it for proofing for an hour.
8. The dough fit perfectly - it increased 2-2.5 times.
9. We knead it and stretch it into a layer. The dough is obedient, does not require flour burning.
10. Then we roll the dough into a tight roll.
11. We bend the ends and make the loaf neat.
12. Then we transfer the blank to a baking sheet, which I recommend to cover with baking paper and sprinkle a little with flour. At this time, we warm up the oven to 230 degrees.
13. Let the bread stay warm for at least 40 minutes, then make cuts with a sharp knife or blade.
14. Using a spray bottle, spray the bread with warm water and send it to the hot oven.
15. You need to bake wheat bread with feta cheese on a steam bath for the first 10 minutes at 230 degrees, then lower the temperature to 200 degrees and cook the loaf for another 40 minutes without steam.
16. Bon Appetit! If there is bread, then only homemade, right?
