Bread ''Sun"

Filled with feta cheese and cut like a sun this bread can be part of any meal for guests and family.

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 table spoon sugar
2 table spoons salt
1 table spoon yeast ( 2 pk)
1 table spoon melted butter
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Method:

All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Mix a table spoon of each-salt, sugar, flour. Add the yeast and 2 table spoons of the milk.
Milk can be warm for faster raising of the yeast, but not hot! Keep in a warm and dark place, I use the microwave or oven, for 5-10 mins until you see the mixture forming bubbles on top and its raising.
Combine the salt and 2 and 2/1 cup  flour.
Beat the eggs and the milk in separate bowl.

Add the eggs and yeast to the flour and knit until all comes together in a ball.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and start knitting for 10 mins while using rest of the flour as needed..
Divide the dough to 3 pieces.
Roll each piece into a circle  and brush 2 of them with butter.

Here, have the first layer placed in the baking pan and spread half of the cheese on it.
Place the second layer brushed with butter and cover with rest of the cheese. Cover with the third layer.
Place a cup in the middle of the top circle and press down. With a knife start making cuts from the cup to the end of the layers. Continue until all of the bred is cut. I made 9 pieces. You can make from 6 big to 12 small. Depends how many you need.


You can also cut 4 pieces, each one of them to 3 smaller.
Lift each piece with a knife and and twist 1 or 2 times. Press the ends down to the baking dish.

Cover with cloth and let stay in warm and dark place for 1 -2 h. The bread will raise faster if you preheat the oven little bit, for 2 mins on 350. We are not baking the bread at this stage. Just letting it rest and raise.

Next, brush some butter or oil on top of the bread and if you like use sesame seeds and , or sea salt to cover it before baking.  I use both sesame seeds and sea salt .


Bake in preheated oven to 350F for 30mins.









I think I forgot the cheese here:( !!!!
