So when I made Spaghetti a la Homer, I had to scour the earth (or every store in Vancouver) for Mizithra cheese. Mizithra cheese is this really hard, salty cheese that tastes AMAZING on pasta. The searching was very much worth it. The only problem is that they sell it by the ball. So now I have this huge ball of Mizithra cheese. Sure I can make more pasta (which I’ve obviously done) but there is only so much pasta one can eat. So…
Ah experimental bread. I’ve never even made normal bread before. This one requires no need to knead or let rise though. So this will act as my transition I guess. I’ll make actual bread soon.
What you’ll need:
-1 large onion, cut into cubes
-1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-2 eggs
-3/4 cup milk
-2/3 cup olive oil
-1/4 cup grated Mizithra cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F
2. Fry the onions and the garlic on a greased skillet on medium heat. Cook until the onions are transparent, then remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and olive oil. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until fully incorporated.
5. Fold in the onion and cheese.
6. Pour the batter into a lightly sprayed loaf pan
7. Bake for around 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
This sounds amazing – I love that you don't need to knead it or let it rise. That's the thing I hate about making bread.
I'm following you now 🙂
This sounds like such a delicious bread! I don't think I have ever had Mizithra cheese before–I will have to look for it!
Cathleen, love your amazing, and delicious bread…although, I've never had Mizithra chees, and will have to ask for it at my supermarket if they even carry it.
The recipe looks and sounds easy, and I would love to try this!
These bread looks delicious! I've never venture into bread making before! May be I should try someday! And thank you so much for dropping by my blog & your lovely words! I do appreciate it! Wish you a lovely weekend! 🙂
I love savory quickbreads and really…they're even BETTER with cheese inside! Yum.
Sometimes the best breads are the simplest – the ones that come together with little rhyme or reason, and surprise you as they emerge from the oven. Yours looks lovely, especially with that mizithra! Yum!
Cant wait to try this recipe Cathleen, you know I love all the ingredients, definitely making it!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I've seen this cheese before, but have never known what to do with it. Now I've got a recipe on hand! Thanks!
I have never heard of this cheese before, but I bet it's delicious combined with onions in your bread. I love almost all cheese and onions, too!
