Cheese and Egg Bread
An improvisation from a piece of dough left over from mushroom pizza. Since there are two of us and we had three pieces of dough, on Saturday we made two pizzas and put the third piece in the fridge. On Sunday morning I baked it in this form. It's a cute bread with edges filled with cheese and a soft egg in the center. Tear off the "handles", break the egg and dip into the divine mixture of melted cheese and soft yolk.
How to prepare cheese and egg bread
- Prepare the dough (steps 1-5). Cut the dough into 3 pieces.
- From each piece, roll out a thin rectangular sheet, like for pizza. Sprinkle cheese on top. Roll the sheet from the long sides toward the center, but leave about 3 cm between them. Join and twist the ends together.
- Cover the breads with plastic wrap and let them rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Bake the breads at 200°C for 20 minutes, then take them out and crack an egg in the center of each bread. If you don't have space for the egg, push the cheese aside with a spoon and crack the egg in the space created. Bake for another 5 minutes, until the white is set but the yolk is still soft.
* Place a small pot of water when preheating the oven to create some steam; remove it when you put the bread in the oven - Serve immediately.
