Stilton & Walnut Quick Bread

I can honestly say that I haven’t stopped thinking about baking this bread since Christmas. One of my favourite things about Christmas is the copious amounts of cheese, which by the start of January usually ends up going in the bin, in a bid to eat more salad leaves and go to the gym. Well, I say NO! Cheese should be enjoyed all the year through, especially in January when spirits are low and the days are short. So, here is my latest recipe, that celebrates British cheese in all of its glory! I’m also very happy to say that recipe is my own 🙂 Enjoy! And let me know what you think!

  • 3 cups of strong bread flour
  • 4 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 & 1/2 cups of milk
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Stilton cheese (use as much as you like – I used a size about as big as a door wedge – specific as ever!)

Method:

  1. Chop your walnuts and cheese in preparation for mixing into the dough
  2. Mix together the dried ingredients
  3. Mix together the wet ingredients
  4. Add wet to dry including the stilton and walnuts
  5. Bake for 40 minutes in a 200C oven

And enjoy! x
