I came across this cheese filled (kind of pizza like) recipe whist going through my massive cookbook library. It's in between a naan bread and a stuffed pizza. I filled mine with cheddar, a chive coated cream cheese and parmesan, but you can use any cheese you like. I also put kalamata olives in mine for no other reason than i'm obsessed with them at the moment.
Ingredients:
250ml Milk
2 Eggs
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 pinch Salt
500g Plain Flour
250g Mixed Cheese
1/2 Cup Kalamata Olives, diced
2 Tablespoon Sour Cream
1 Handful cheese to garnish (optional)
Fresh Herbs to garnish (optional)
Method:
Whisk together the milk, 1 egg, oil, baking powder and salt until smooth. Slowly add the flour in and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for 20mins.
Mix together in a separate bowl the other egg, cheeses, olives and sour cream.
Preheat oven to 180'c. Line a large baking tray with baking paper or use a silpat (my best friend).
Divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll out into a large circle. Spread half the cheese mixture into the middle of each circle, leaving a margin around the edge, Fold the dough in over the cheese until it's all covered over. Flatten down with your hand and roll out to a flat disc (click here to see video how to roll dough). pinch a hole in the middle of the disc to let the steam out. Place onto your baking tray and bake for 30mins or until golden brown. Just before you pull the bread out of the oven sprinkle with cheese and put back into melt. Serve hot sprinkled with herbs.
