Cheesy Herb Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough Ingredients

01 - 1 teaspoon salt
02 - 150 milliliters warm milk (a little over 1/2 cup)
03 - 240 grams all-purpose flour (around 1 1/2 cups)

→ Filling Ingredients

04 - A small bunch of dill, chopped finely
05 - Handful of parsley, minced
06 - 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese (or your go-to cheese)

→ For Cooking

07 - 60 grams melted butter

# Instructions:

01 - Pour the warm milk into a big mixing bowl and stir in the salt and flour. Use a spatula or spoon to combine them until they start clumping together. After that, put the dough onto a floured counter and knead it for a bit. You’ll feel it change as you work it—when it’s smooth and stretchy, you’re done.
02 - In a new bowl, combine the chopped dill and parsley with the shredded cheese. Make sure everything is mixed well so every bite is packed with flavor. This mixture is where you'll find all the flavor and texture.
03 - Cut the dough into two pieces. Roll one piece into a thin circle, roughly as big as a dinner plate, on a floured surface. Brush half your melted butter onto this dough round. Sprinkle the cheese and herb mix evenly on top, leaving a little border around the edges.
04 - Take the second piece of dough and roll it out to match the first one. Lay it carefully over the filling-covered dough. Pinch the edges gently all the way around to lock in that cheesy middle. It’s like putting together a big stuffed sandwich!
05 - Heat a frying pan on medium and coat the bottom with some melted butter. Carefully lay your stuffed dough into the hot pan (roll it over your rolling pin if it’s tricky to carry). Let it cook until the bottom is nice and golden brown.
06 - After 5-7 minutes, give the bread a flip using a big spatula. Let the second side cook up golden, too, about another 5-7 minutes. You’ll notice the cheese inside melting and oozing slightly—it’s ready to go!
07 - Move the finished bread onto a cutting board and give it a little rest before slicing. Cut it into wedges like a pizza. Cheese might stretch out as you slice—that’s the best part! Serve warm and enjoy.

# Notes:

01 - Inspired by Georgian khachapuri, this bread is made with a simpler twist for ease.
02 - It’s a perfect side with soup, salad, or even as a starter.
03 - Pair it with marinara sauce or garlic butter dip to make it extra special.
