Ingredients
- 150 g plain white flour (see Note 1)
- 200 g wholemeal flour
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (see Note 2)
- 100 g mature cheddar cheese (see Note 3), grated
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (see Note 4)
- 200 ml milk regular or plant-based (see Note 5)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Dust a non-stick baking tray with a little flour.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flours, salt, baking soda and grated cheese.
- In a jug mix together the vinegar and milk.
- Pour the milk/vinegar mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Bring the dough together into a ball using your hands. The dough should just come together into a ball, but shouldn’t be wet and sloppy. If it doesn’t all come together add a splash of water. If it’s too wet and sloppy add a touch more flour.
- Roll the dough into a ball and place on your prepared baking tray.
- Flatten the ball a little and then cut a deep cross into it. The cross should go almost to the base of the loaf – but not quite!
- Bake the loaf in your pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked all the way through and golden on top.
- Ideally, serve warm – straight out of the oven!
Notes
- You can use any combination of flours you like (white, wholemeal, granary, rye etc.) but make sure that you use regular 'plain' / 'all purpose' flour NOT bread flour and NOT self-raising flour.
- Be sure to use baking soda (which is the same as bicarbonate of soda) DO NOT use baking powder, which is a different thing entirely!
- I personally prefer to use cheddar cheese in this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Stilton, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Camembert or Chèvre.
- Alternatively, you can use white wine vinegar or lemon juice. At a push you could use red wine vinegar, but DO NOT use malt vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
- I have successfully used regular cow's milk, almond milk and oat milk here. You can use any plant-based milk you like here, but beware that strongly flavoured milks, such as hazelnut or coconut will affect the taste of the bread (which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your preferences!)
- Suitable for freezing.
