Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound frozen white bread dough, thawed
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Pinch of nutmeg
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 cup blueberries
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Roll and stretch the dough into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Combine the cream cheese, lemon zest and nutmeg in a bowl. Spread over the dough. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons each granulated sugar and sliced almonds, then the blueberries, pressing lightly. Cut into 16 small squares and make 4 stacks of 4 squares each.
  • Place each stack on its side in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Gently separate the dough layers so the dough fills the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon each granulated sugar and sliced almonds.
  • Cover the loaf loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough rises by half its size, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350. Bake the loaf until it's browned and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes (tent with foil if it's browning too quickly). Let cool 15 minutes in the pan, then loosen the edges with a knife. Remove to a plate and let cool 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

CHEESE & GARLIC PULL-APART LOAF



Cheese & garlic pull-apart loaf image

Make this tasty cheese and garlic loaf to use up leftover cheddar and parmesan. It makes a great savoury snack, or an easy lunch with cold meats

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Afternoon tea, Lunch, Side dish, Snack

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

50g butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
500g pack white bread mix
100g cheddar , grated
25g parmesan , grated
2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
small pack parsley , finely chopped

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.

  • When you're ready to bake the loaf, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help it to bake evenly.
