Cato's Cheese Bread (Libum)

Country: The Holy See (Vatican City)
Course: Bread
Makes: 2 pieces



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup feta cheese, drained, crumbled and packed
  • 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 6 bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put the cheese in a mixing bowl or food processor and mash well until it you get a smooth paste. There should be no lumps in the mixture. Add the flour and blend well, using your fingers if necessary.
  2. Add the egg and mix. The dough will be sticky.
  3. Divide the dough into two parts (you will need to flour them a little in order to do this). Flatten until they are about a half inch thick. Put the bay leaves on a greased cookie sheet and then place the two pieces of bread over the leaves.
  4. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.
