  • 1 envelope active dry yeast
  • 1/4 c. chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 c. onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp. dill
  • 1/4 tsp. marjoram
  • 1/2 c. lukewarm milk
  • 1/4 c. chicken stock or broth

Method

  • In a small bowl, proof yeast in 1/4 cup chicken broth for 10 minutes.
  • Into a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour and salt.
  • Add cheese, onion, rosemary, dill and marjoram and toss.
  • In another bowl, combine milk, the yeast mixture, chicken stock or broth, 1 egg and honey; when well combined, add to flour mixture, stirring until the dough is well blended.
  • Gradually add all-purpose flour and blend the dough until it forms a ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it, adding more flour if it is too sticky, for 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Form the dough into a ball; put it in a buttered bowl and turn it to coat it with the butter.
