7g (2 tsp) dry yeast
2 tsp caster sugar
2 tsp salt

500g bread flour (00)
100g haloumi cheese, coarsely grated

METHOD

STEP 1

Combine yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle over the top of 250ml of warm water and set aside for 5 mins until frothy.

Shape dough into a 22x35cm rectangle on a lightly greased tray. Use fingers to form dimples all over the dough then brush with remaining oil and allow to rise again (45 mins).
