Lately, I've been busy browing my new account in Pinterest. And surely I got so many new ideas about different topics. =D And this recipe was inspired by one photo I've seen from it.

 

 

 

 

Yeast Dough

Ingredients: 

• 1 pack active dry yeast (1 tablespoon)
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (soft)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

1. In a small bowl, mix together yeast and warm milk. Set aside.
2. In the bowl mix together butter, sugar, egg, vanilla until well combined.
3. Add yeast mixture (Yeast mixture is ready when the yeast forms bubbles).
4. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours and salt.
5. Create a well in the middle of the flour.
6. Pour in the yeast mixture.
7. Mix all together. You can use electric mixer or just hands and form a ball. At this point, you can add flour or milk to achieve the proper texture in case you need adjustment.
8. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes.
9. Lightly flour the bottom of a large glass bowl; place dough in bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel or with plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, about 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.

  

Filling:

• Mozzarella cheese
• Cheddar Cheese
• Cream Cheese

Procedure:

1. Roll dough into a rectangle the length of your baking sheet. It can be wider than the sheet because you will be folding the sides in.
2. Place the dough on the baking sheet and let the sides hang off.
3. Put different kinds of cheese on the center half of the dough.
4. Cut the dough on the sides at about 3/4 inch intervals. Don't cut all the way to the filling.
5. Wrap it by starting at the bottom and alternating sides, overlap the strips of dough onto the filling in a lattice pattern. You can stretch the pieces to fit all the way over the filling.
6. Optional: You can brush egg wash if you like.
7. Bake your bread at 190° C for about 20-30 minutes.
8. Serve and enjoy!
