Stilton Bread - Delicious! |
Who loves the smell and taste of fresh baked bread? My family certainly do! This bread is top quality, delicious, fresh and can be made for a lot less than the cost of a speciality bread in a bakery.
Whenever I prepare a buffet I love to make a selection of breads using bread dough made in the bread maker. When my guests arrive they can smell the aroma of fresh baked bread - gorgeous!
Here is how I do it and it is so simple!
Select the white bread dough function on your bread maker.
Once the dough is made roll it out into a rectangle shape about half - one centimetre in depth.
Garlic Butter spread over the bread dough |
Cover with the toppings of your choice - here are a few ideas:-
- Garlic - simply add crushed garlic to butter and spread over the bread dough
- Olives - roughly chop olives and sprinkle over the dough
- Garlic and cheese - spread garlic butter and grated cheddar cheese over the bread dough
- Stilton - sprinkle crumbled stilton over the bread dough
- Ham & cheese - sprinkle chopped ham and grated cheddar over the bread dough.
- Ham & Mustard - spread mustard and then sprinkle chopped ham over the bread dough
Bread dough rolled up - cut into segments |
Once you have added your toppings roll the dough up.
Cut into segments about 2 inches long.
Place the segments upright in a well buttered ovenproof dish.
Stilton Bread dough once risen |
Cover with oiled cling film (loosely as the bread will rise)
Leave in a warm place to proof (rise)
About about 30 - 45 minutes the bread will be risen - the longer you leave it the better as this will make the bread really light and airy.
Once well risen bake in a pre heated oven (180 degrees) for 20 -30 minutes until browned on top.
I like to remove from the dish to serve.
Serve whilst still warm!
Delicious!!
Why not try different flavours?
TOP TIP - this is also great to take on a picnic as an alternative to sandwiches.
TOP TIP - remember to calculate how long this will take to ensure it is ready on time. In my bread maker it takes 2 hours 20 minutes for the bread dough, then 40ish minutes for proofing and 30 minutes for baking - a total of about 3 and half hours!
