Ingredients
- • all-purpose flour: 3 cups
- • instant yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
- • dried thyme: 1 teaspoon
- • ground beef: 1 pound
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 2 cups
- • egg, beaten (for egg wash): 1
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- 3 While the dough rises, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and let the beef cool slightly.
- 4 Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cooked beef evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
- 5 Carefully roll the dough up, starting from a long edge, to form a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal, then place the log seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Savory Beef and Cheddar Swirl Bread is perfect on its own or paired with a tangy marinara dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad to balance the richness of the bread. For a complete indulgent meal, enjoy it with a hearty bowl of tomato soup or a chilled lager to complement the cheesy, meaty goodness.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap slices in foil and warm in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. For longer storage, wrap the bread tightly in plastic and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating as described.
