Not all kids love strong cheeses, so use less blue cheese and more mild cheddar if you want a gentler flavour.

Cook’s tips

When baking bread at home, don’t rush the rising (proving) time – it helps develop the best texture and flavour.

Always preheat your oven, and don’t open the door too often while baking.

Want a crispy crust? Brush the top with a little water before baking or place a small bowl of water in the oven for steam.

1.
Make the cheese butter mix: In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add in the blue cheese, feta, crushed garlic and Royco® Cheese & Bacon Dry Sauce. Stir and set aside.
2.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top and stir to combine.
3.
Add the liquids: Warm the water (not too hot!) and pour about 70% of it into the dry mixture. Mix with a spoon or your hands.
4.
Knead the dough: Keep mixing and kneading, adding the rest of the water as needed. Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and stretchy (do the ‘windowpane test’ – the dough should stretch thin enough for light to pass through it).
5.
Let it rise: Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
6.
Knock back & shape: Press down the dough gently, then let it rest for 10 minutes. Shape it into a loaf or rolls and place on a greased baking tray.
7
Top it off: Spoon the butter-cheese mixture over the shaped dough. You can also press in some chopped black olives for extra flavour.
8
Second rise: Cover and let it rise again until it’s about 80% puffed up (around 30 minutes).
9
Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.
