Italian herb bread with cheese melted on the crust...

[Smilesandpiles]

I've just made some and the smell has been driving us potty for the last hour or so now.

Just trying to wait until it's cold enough to slice, but MY GOD it's taking forever!

Oh arse, wrong topic.

YABU if you don't have any to share with the rest of us

Yabu not to include a photo.

Yabu for making my mouth water.

I'm so so sorry.

YAbvvu and the most outrageous thread of the day

Yabu not offering a slice or recipe.

Yabu you just posted to gloat.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry....

It's very nice. If I could send any I would. Honestly.

Hope you have some wine to look forward to as well.

YBU to wait until its cold to eat it surely its lovely warm out of the oven.

Yabu to mention it without posting a recipie

Yes, we demand a recipe please!

I'll post a recipie of course, but it was for my breadmaker.

Should I still post it? I don't know if the recipies or quantites vary for each breadmaker.

Partial No. No wine, I don't drink really. Only a glass or two over Christmas. (Childhood issues with alcoholic mother)

Where's the recipe OP?? That sounds a-mezzin!!

My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

The recipie is for a breadmaker, but I'm sure it can used for normal ovens too...just tweek as needed.

For a 2lb loaf on the basic setting.

1 and a half cups of warm water
3tbsp dried milk powder
3tbsp sunflower oil
2.5 tbsp sugar (I used caster)
2 tsp salt (I used sea salt flakes so put a little more in)
4 cups strong bread flour
6 tsp dried mixed italian herbs (recipie in book says 2 of dried marjoram, 2 of basil and 2 of thyme)
1.5 tsp fast action yeast

After the first lot of kneeding, add in some grated parmasan, as much as you like.

Just before the baking stage and after the second kneeding session, add a thick layer of grated cheddar. I think I added this in the last hour of cooking time.

I can't give the quantites for the cheese as I just did it as a spur of the moment thing. I wasn't even sure if it would work.

I wish I could be more helpful and give a proper recipie that will work for everyone.

That's okay, if it doesn't work properly it gives us all an excuse to tell you how unreasonable you are again!!! Sounds delicious - hope you enjoyed it!

It would be deserved Ladygracie

I'm trying not to eat more as I'm full from dinner, so would be eating for that sake of it but that salty cheesy crust is making my mouth water.

I'm on my way...

Oh god, that sounds amazing! Thank you for the recipe, I'll make it tomorrow for our picnic.

Just remembered. I made it and it was amazing! and it got me lots of compliments. I passed them on to my bread machine.

SLICE ? Just pull hunks off and slaver with butter..in the name of making sure its just baked right
