Flowerpot Cheese Breads Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup feta cheese
- handful of thyme
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 6 small terra cotta pots
- olive oil to rub the inside of the pot
- fresh herbs for decoration
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl combine the warm water and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes.
- While yeast is sitting, mix together all three cheeses and thyme in a separate bowl.
- To the bowl with the yeast, stir in the first two cups of flour, salt, and butter. Stir in the next two cups of flour, add honey, and mix into a dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. Put dough in an olive oiled bowl, covered with a damp towel, and let sit until it has doubled in size, about an hour.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, press out the excess gas in the dough, and knead for another 5 minutes on a floured surface. Cut the dough into 6 pieces, each piece the size needed to fill about half a small pot. Test dough pieces for size, but don’t yet put each into pots.
- Roll out the dough pieces and place cheese and herb mixture in the center of each. Press together the seams with a little water to make a small package.
- Coat each pot with a little olive oil, then line with parchment paper. Place each dough ball in a pot, put pots on a cookie sheet and drizzle dough tops with olive oil. Squirt each bread ball with water from a spray bottle, and lay herbs on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite jam!
