project 221....a pull apart bread

Saturdays in our household the men watch rugby.  Most Saturdays start off with school rugby matches in the mornings, early tv games in the mornings.....five o'clock  tv games.....seven o'clock tv games.....by that time I am so tired of rugby!  So I usually try new recipes while they watch rugby!.....Oh yes, and we usually 'braai' and my parents come around for the 5 and 7 o'clock games and we all eat together!


On Saturday night I made this bread.  It was suppose to have 4 rashers of bacon in it, but I forgot to take some from the freezer, and thought for the small quantity it was not worth the effort, so I omitted it, and added a hand full of parsley from my windowsill herbs....it seems like only the parsley, rosemary and mint like the small container.  I usually use rosemary in other breads, but felt like something different.....

1 3/4 cups cake flour
1 cup wholewheat flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 packet of instant yeast
1 tsp salt
half a packet mushroom soup powder(the original recipe had ranch dressing or dip mix....was not in my cupboard!)
1/4 cup chopped onion/chives
Hand full of fresh parsley
1/3 cup of milk
1/4 cup of butter
1/4 cup of water
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup of grated cheese

Mix all the dry ingredients and the herbs.

Heat the milk, butter and water, and mix with the dry ingredients adding the eggs and cheese as well.  Allow to stand in a warm spot until doubled in size(about an hour).

Roll it out with a rolling pin an a rectangle and cut in six strips.  Place the strips on top of each other and cut in squares.  Turn your breadpan onto its side and arrange the squares in it.  When turning the pan up again, the bread squares will be standing.  Allow to double in size again for about an hour, then bake at 180*C for 30-35 minutes.

The slices can now be pulled apart.
