Recipe - Greek Feta Bread

One half cup Lukewarm Water
2 tablespoon Dry Yeast
One fourth cup Honey
3 One half cup Whole Wheat Or All Purpose
Flour, or as needed
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
One fourth pound Feta Cheese
2 Eggs
1 Egg White, beaten
1 teaspoon Poppy Seeds

In large mixing bowl, combine water, yeast and honey. Let sit in warm place
until mixture foams.

Stir in 1 One half to 2 cups flour, or as needed to create thick batter, mixing
well with wooden spoon. Let batter rise in warm place for 30 minutes.

Stir in oil and enough flour to form kneadable dough. Turn onto lightly
floured surface and knead for 5 to 8 min., or until dough becomes elastic
and less sticky. Place in clean, lightly oiled bowl. Let dough rise in warm
place for 1 hr. Punch down, and let rise again for 30 min. Lightly oil
large baking sheet.

On floured surface, roll dough into large rectangle. Crumble the feta
cheese into middle, then break eggs onto cheese. Quickly fold up sides of
dough, completely enclosing feta and eggs, and pinching edges to seal.

Place loaf on baking sheet, and brush with beaten egg white. Top with poppy
seeds. Let loaf rise for 20 min. Bane at 350ø for 45 minutes or until
golden. Let cool before slicing.

Makes 12 servings.
