Cato’S Cheese Bread
Cato’s Cheese Bread
An old recipe for Roman bread
1 cup feta cheese, drained, crumbled, and packed
into the measuring cup
1/2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
6 bay leaves
2 tablespoons honey
Put the cheese into a medium size mixing bowl
Mash well with the fingers until it becomes a smooth, lumpless paste
Add the flour and mix well with the fingers
Add the beaten egg and mix well
The dough will be rather sticky
Divide the dough into two equal parts, then form two round, flat, 1/2 inch thick loaves
Lay each on three bay leaves set on a greased baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until cooked through
Remove the loaves from the oven, spread the tops with the honey, and let cool
Remove the bay leaves before serving
