GAYLE'S ULTIMATE CHEESY GOODNESS LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Cut the bread lengthwise and crosswise without cutting through the bottom crust
• 2. insert cheese between all the cuts
• 3. combine butter, onions (or jalapenos), poppy seeds and garlic and drizzle all over the bread
• 4. wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 15 minutes
• 5. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted completely

CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick spray. Using a pastry brush, brush the spray all over the loaf pan to make sure it is covered up the sides and in the corners. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add the cheddar cheese and stir it together so the cheese is coated in the flour mixture. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg; pour into the dry mixture and stir it until just combined (a few dry spots are okay.) Add in the melted butter and mix it in until everything is combined and there are no dry patches.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the bread is baking, make the topping: whisk together the butter, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and dried parsley.
• Remove loaf pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool slightly. Immediately brush the bread with the butter topping.
• Let the bread cool for 5 minutes in the pan then take it out of the pan and cool completely on the wire rack.
• Slice and serve.

CHEESE & GARLIC PULL-APART LOAF

Steps:

• Butter a 900g loaf tin and line with baking parchment that comes well above the longer sides. Make up the bread following the pack instructions. Leave the dough to rest under a cloth for 10 mins. Shape into a log on a lightly floured surface and divide it into six pieces. Mix the cheese, garlic, parsley and butter together.
• Roll each piece of dough out into a rectangle, or as near to a rectangle as you can, the width should be just shorter than the width of the tin and the length about twice the depth of the tin, and lay the rectangles out side by side. Divide the cheese mixture between them (reserving 1 tbsp) and spread it out as much as possible. Fold each rectangle in half and then put them into the tin one after the other, starting at one end. You may need to squeeze them a bit to fit them all in. Don't worry about the dough sticking out of the top of the tin. Cover the dough and leave to rise for about 30 mins or until risen. Crumble the remaining cheese mix over the top.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake for 40-45 mins or until golden and puffed (don't under-cook it or it may be squidgy in the middle). Leave the loaf in the tin for 10 mins, then lift it out with the parchment. Serve it whole, ready to be pulled into pieces.
