Tips

  • This loaf is best made a day in advance and served hot by reheating for 10 minutes in a preheated oven 200°C Fan Oven 210°C Gas Mark 6/7. For extra cheesiness sprinkle with more grated cheese of your choice!
  • When you sprinkle with seeds try adding some dry chillies to pep up the crust flavour
  • If you don’t like mustard add dried basil, chives or herbs of your choice
  • Try adding nutritional yeast instead of cheese, to make these vegan!

 

Enjoy with family and friends is you can bear to share!
