Delightful Crumbled Goat Cheese Egg Bread Recipe

Extra special new recipe - my husband said it's his new favorite one! This crumbled goat cheese egg bread will make you drop your jaw in sheer delight. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is truly remarkable. Its crumb is so soft and moist, it feels like cotton candy melting in your mouth. The delicate balance of the creamy, tangy goat cheese paired with the rich, eggy bread creates a harmony that is both comforting and sophisticated. I worked on this recipe a couple of times before I felt like I had the recipe nailed down. Each iteration brought me closer to achieving that ideal texture and taste, allowing the goat cheese to shine without overpowering the other ingredients. Let us get to how easy it is to make this at home!

Ingredients:

500 g bread flour

7 g instant yeast / 11 g active dry yeast / 22 g compressed fresh yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

3 eggs

1 cup (8 oz) of lukewarm milk

350 g crumbled goat cheese

Olive Oil* (try my favorite Mediterranean cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil) for drizzling

Execution Steps:

1. Activate the yeast by combining the yeast, milk, and sugar. Cover and let the yeast concoction rise for 10 min. Then stir the remainder of the dissolved yeast.

2. Proceed by adding the eggs to the flour, slowly incorporating the yeast mixture followed by the addition of the crumbled goat cheese. Mix and knead until everything is well combined, cohesive, and a bit of stiff dough.

3. Cover your dough and let it proof for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size. After this rise, uncover the dough, reshape it, and place the dough in an oiled baking tray 31x20 cm or 12x8 inch. Finish by adding more oil on the top and letting it rest for 15-30 min before baking.

4. Bake at ~200°C (400°F) for 30 min or until golden brown.
