How to Make Halloumi Bread

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 500g strong bread flour, 10g salt, 7g active dry yeast, 2 tbsp olive oil, 150ml warm milk, and 100ml warm water. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. Shape the dough into a round loaf. Place it on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 230°C (Gas Mark 8).
  7. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 90°C (194°F).
