Green Bell Pepper & Cheese Bread

Green Bell Pepper & Cheese Bread


It's delicious!  12 slices in a bread


This recipe was for 2 breads originally so i halved it.


Shopping List:

1/2 green bell pepper ( Paprika) finely diced
22 ml olive oil or rapeseed oil
1 tablespoon dry yeast (approx. 1 sachet)
50 ml warm water ( not too warm, as that kills the yeast)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
120 ml milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
75 gr grated Cheddar
2 eggs
281 gr plain flour (more if it is too dry)
20 gr wheat germ
1/2 tablespoon water




* Sauté the pepper bits in a small frying pan in 1 tablespoon of oil for 15 minutes or until soft. Set aside.
* Dissolve the yeast and the sugar in the warm water in a large bowl and let it stand for about 5 minutes.
* Heat the milk, honey, salt and the remaining oil in a large saucepan. When warm, remove from the hob and stir in the grated cheese. Stir in 1 egg and the now soft pepper bits. Add this to the yeast mixture.
* Add half of the flour and the wheat germ. Keep beating until smooth. Stir in the remaining flour, enough to from a soft dough. Not too dry not too wet. Do not knead.
* Cover the bowl with plastic and or a teatowel, put it somewhere warm (the kitchen usually) and let it rise until it has doubled. Usually 1 hour but it doesn't matter if it is longer. Grease or spray your tin.
* Punch the dough down and put it in your prepared tin. Cover again and let it prove again for another hour.
* Beat the egg with some water and brush it over the loaf.
* Bake it @ 190 for 25-30 minutes or until it is golden brown.
* If you double this recipe use 3 eggs not 4. Then you will have two loaves.

* It is delicious! And very easy to make!
