Equipment

  • Breadmaker

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams full cream milk
  • 1 egg about 55 grams
  • 410 grams all purpose flour
  • 45 grams brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 55 grams unsalted butter softened

For the Filling

  • 55 grams salted butter softened
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced, about 2 tablespoons
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 125 grams cheddar cheese about 1 cup

For the Glaze

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons full cream milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • In your breadmaker pan or stand mixer bowl, add the milk and the egg.
  • Add the flour to cover the entire surface of the liquid, sprinkle the sugar and salt around the edges, make a well in the center of the flour and add the yeast in the well.
  • Transfer the pan to your bread machine, and start the Dough program. If using a stand mixer, start the mixer at the lowest speed, and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Increase the speed one step up, and continue kneading.
  • After kneading for about 10 minutes, add the butter. let the Dough knead cycle finish. If using a mixer, continue kneading, until the butter is incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic, another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer to an oiled bowl. You can leave it in the machine if you like, but I prefer to use a clear glass bowl like this so I can visually see the dough double in size.
  • When the Dough knead cycle finishes, transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover and let rest in a warm place, until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
  • While the dough rests, make the filling. In a small bowl, add the butter, garlic and parsley, and stir to thoroughly combine. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Gently punch down the dough to let out the air. Transfer the dough to a lightly dusted surface.
  • Roll out the dough into a 9-inch wide rectangle.
  • Make many thin cuts along the length of the dough.
  • Spread the garlic butter filling evenly over the bottom half of the dough. Top with the shredded cheese.
  • Starting from the bottom short edge, roll upwards into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal.
  • Transfer to an 9- by 5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rest, until puffy, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven at 180 degrees C (fan 160 degrees C).
  • While the loaf rests, make the glaze. In a small bowl, add the egg and milk, and beat until thoroughly combined.
  • Brush the glaze evenly over the loaf.
  • Bake in the oven, until golden brown, 25 minutes.
  • Brush with the melted butter. Remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.
