4 x 250 ml flour
5 ml salt
5 ml sugar
30 ml butter
10 g instant dry yeast
250 ml grated cheese
45 ml finely chopped parsley
1/2 onion finely chopped (I sometimes add a little bit of finely chopped peppers.)
160 ml milk
180 ml lukewarm water
beaten egg to glaze
melted garlic butter
Preheat the oven to 180℃. Sift flour, salt and sugar and rub in butter. Sprinkle in yeast and work through. Stir in cheese, parsley and onion (and peppers if you want to use that). Add milk and water and mix into a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until the dough is elastic and smooth.
Place in an oiled bowl and cover. Let it rise to double it's original volume and knock it down.
I didn't braid this bread, I used a silicone loaf pan, brushed it with beaten egg and let it rise again. Baked it for about 45 minutes until cooked and brushed it with the melted garlic butter. (The photo's a bit blurry... was having a shaky-hand camera day.)

It's funny you posted about this - I just moved to California from France and the 1 thing I miss is good bread so I was thinking of making my own!
Thats a really great recipe what I use to do is allow the mixture to rise first then add my flavouring,allow to rise knock down and add into mold,Found that the bread would come out much lighter.(and I love that bread smell when its still in the oven),
Also have you tried leaving out the dry yeast and going for compressed chef's yeast it works absolutely fantastic!!I love it.
