Cheese and biltong bread wheelrecipe
Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus rising
Baking time: 45 minutes
Oven temperature: 190°C
Ingredients:
1kg ready-made bread dough
30ml olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
50g thinly sliced beef biltong
250ml grated Cheddar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions:
1. Put the dough in a large bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rise until doubled in size.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Roll out half the dough to form a 22cm circle. Place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
4. Scatter the onion mixture, biltong and ¾ of the cheese over the dough, leaving a gap around the edge. Brush the edge with the beaten egg.
5. Roll out the remaining dough to form a 22cm circle. Place it on top of the filling and press down the edges to seal.
6. Mark the centre of the circle with a small bowl.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into wedges from the edge inwards to the marked circle. You should have 10 to 12 wedges.
8. Carefully pick up a wedge and twist it over. Repeat with the remaining wedges. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
