Cheesey semolina bread
I made this last weekend even though I was really pleased with the results it should have spent a little longer in the oven maybe popped out of the tin for 10-15 minutes
100% flour
60% semolina
3% salt
3% instant dry yeast
10% garlic oil (I made my own, crushed 2 cloves of garlic in to hot oil and let it cool. I couldnt be bother to strain it so I chucked the lot in)
95% luke warm water
46% grated parmasan
46% sharp mature cheddar cut into small cubes
46% spicy mexican cheese cut into small cubes
I combined everything except the cheese to make a smooth dough with a paddle. I was worried about the salt content with the salt from the cheese so I reduced it a little. Then mixed with a dough hook for 5 mins. Add all the cheese mix until well combined. I put it in a well greased bowl at 21 C untill puffy. I greased an 8" round baking tin with olive oil Shapped the dough as a boule and put in the tin cover and let it rise for about and hour. I use a steam convection oven I set it to steam and 195C, when it got to temp I covered the tin with tented foil and put it in. Cooked for 30 mins took the lid off and cooked for a further 15 mins. Very tasty.







a good rise without any yeast to boot? Still, it must have been a delicious bread with those cheeses all mixed in and that fine blistered crust.
Nice baking.
Ah you spotted my deliberate error. No matter how many times I check something I always leave somethin out. I was trying to convert tsp to grammes and then to a percentage had brain freeze and forgot it should be 3% instant dry yeast. Thanks for pointing it out

make a post I have to go back at least twice to fix errors in formula and spelling and grammar. It goes with 2 fingered typing and half a brain :-)
Looks great.
Very similar to KAF Three-Cheese Semolina Bread.
Always wanted to try that one.
I think thats where I originally got the recipe from. But there are certain cheeses I cant get in the UK like provolone. So I made do with what I had. Its worth a go and stays fresh longer than normal bread. Nice toasted with marmite!
