spinach and cheddar bread

I have been really into making bread and testing out new ways to ways to activate yeast !! It is fun and its the best thing to mix up and walk away from it. I thoroughly enjoy watching the dough become this magical poofy mass. It is fantastic especially when you pick up your average loaf of bread in the grocery store and realize what is really in it. When you cant pronounce certain things in the list of ingredients that is when you know you need to throw it back on shelf and find an alternative. There are obviously a lot of companies devoted to creating store bought breads that are multi-grain-fiberlicious, but you need to search them out !

You are going to want to start with combining 2 eggs, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 tsp of oregano, 1 tbs of minced garlic. Whisk that up until it is incorporated.

Then combine 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tbs of sugar, in another separate bowl.

Then boil 1 cup of water and add in 1 tbs of butter. then add one packet of yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes until it gets all bubbly.

Then add the liquid into the flour mixture and mix through until its smooth. Then mix in 1 pack of frozen spinach that has all the excess liquid removed.

Then add 1 1/2 cups more of flour and continue to mix it thoroughly until it becomes a beautiful doughy ball.

Like this !! Then kneed it for a little bit until it becomes elastic. Set it aside with a towel over the top and let it rise for about 1/2 hour.

Once it has risen fully bake brush it with a little egg wash and bake it in a 400 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes until it is toasty brown all over.

Enjoy !!!
