Recipe video above. A bread made without yeast with swirls of herb and pockets of cheese throughout with addictive garlic flavour. Slices well and especially great toasted!Enjoy for morning tea, take to picnics, serve on the side of meals, dunk into soups and slow cooked stews! Serve warm for the best eating experience, preferably with lashings of butter.PS You can totally use homemade or store-bought pesto instead of the herb &amp; garlic swirl. Use 1/3 to 1/2 cup. Bear in mind the flavour will only be as good as the pesto you use :)

Cheese, Garlic and Herb Quick Bread (no yeast)

cheese

rosemary

parsley leaves (, finely chopped)

oregano

thyme

garlic (,

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

salt salt

plain flour ((all-purpose flour))

salt

yogurt

milk (, full fat best, low fat ok)

eggs ((~50-55 grams/2 ounces each))

tbsp (50 grams) unsalted butter (, melted)

olive oil

garlic

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (both fan and standard ovens).

Loaf tin - Grease a 21 x 11 x 7 cm loaf pan (8.3 x 4.5 x 2.75&quot;) lightly with butter or oil spray then line with baking paper (parchment paper). (Note 3)

Herb and garlic swirl - Mix the ingredients in a small bowl, it should be a thick dollop-able mixture.

Dry ingredients - Whisk the Dry Ingredients in a bowl.

Wet ingredients - Whisk the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.

Combine - Make a well in the centre of the Dry Ingredients. Pour the Wet Ingredients in and mix until just combined.

Swirls and cheese Layer 1 - Pour 1/3 of the batter into the bread tin. Dollop 1/3 of the herbs across the top then use a knife to &quot;swirl&quot; it into the batter up and down, and also turning the batter over (refer photo below). Use 1/3 of the cheese slices and push them randomly into the batter. Push some all the way in and leave some poking out of the batter.

Layers 2 and 3 - Repeat twice more. Don&#39;t worry about herb mixture exposed and cheese slices sticking out the surface, looks amazing when baked!

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden. Remove from oven and cover with foil, then bake for a further 20 minutes (total baking time 50 minutes). Check to make sure the centre is cooked by inserting a skewer - it should come out clean.

Cool in the loaf tin for 5 minutes then turn the bread out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool for at least another 10 minutes before cutting thick slices. Butter is  optional but always welcome!

Made this morning.
Delicious and unique.
We didn’t bother lining the baking pan with parchment because we used a rimmed silicone baking pan with a slight smear of butter and the loaf popped cleanlyl out.
The prep time was a lot more than 15 minutes for us but it was worth it and we will definitely make it again.

Cooked it last night! Delicious moist loaf!

Am having an avocado, cheese and mortadella open sandwich with a pile of dill just now for breakfast - hmm &gt; looking at your photos your recipe would fit the moment even better!  Interesting idea asking to be copied.  Glad to see Dozer does not believe in retirement . . . I may at the moment look like him but think the same way :) !

Que pan tan provocativo, alistaré materiales para prepararlo mañana mismo. Gracias por compartir esta delicia!
