This Tear & Share Feta Herb Bread is a delicious cheese bread, studded with chunks of feta cheese and fresh herbs. This bread is a really versatile recipe which is a great addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas table. It is equally good to serve at a picnic or outdoor meal in summer too.
Start by making a bread dough. Make a cheese filling by mixing feta, Parmesan and herbs in a bowl with some oil. Spread the filling over the dough and roll it into a log. Slice into 7 equal pieces and arrange them in a circle with one in the center, surrounded by six of the slices. Once the dough rises, bake in the oven. Perfect for sharing!
To make Tear & Share Feta Herb Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place 500 grams of flour in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 sachet of dried yeast, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix together and create a well in the center. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of oil and enough of the warm water to bring together as a soft dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl. Cover with a clean towel and leave in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size.
Combine 100 grams of feta with 30 grams of Parmesan, the remaining olive oil and the chopped herbs in a bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill.
Knead the dough gently once or twice.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to make a 10x14-inch rectangle.
Top the dough evenly with the cheese and herb mixture. Roll the rectangle of dough up starting from one long side to make a log shape.
Cut the dough log into 7 thick slices. Arrange 6 of the slices, in a circle, cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Place the slices roughly 1 inch apart. Place the last slice in the center of the circle.
Cover the bread and leave to rise for 30-40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 355 °F. Brush the bread dough with beaten egg.
Bake the bread in the oven for 40-50 minutes until golden on top and cooked through.
Remove the bread from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Once cool enough to touch, wrap in a clean towel.
Serve slightly warm and watch your guests tear it apart.
