Broccoli and Cheese Bread

 

vegetable oil cooking spray

1 10 oz. package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and squeezed of excess water

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

1 large egg, beaten

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

1 to 2 tablespoons flour

1 tube, 11 ounces crusty French bread dough, refrigerated

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with the cooking spray.

Mix the broccoli, green onions, egg, milk, dill, and nutmeg in a bowl until

combined. Add the cheese and bread crumbs.

Sprinkle flour over a pastry board and unroll the dough. Roll out into a 13-inch

square. Cut in half to form two equal rectangles, 6 by 13 inches. Divide the

filling and place down the center of each rectangle. For each rectangle, fold

one side over filling. Fold over remaining side, pressing the seam to seal. Seal

the two ends of the loaves. Cut slits down the tops of the loaves to let air

escape.

Bake about 25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly and cut into

pieces.

Makes 2 loaves.
