Recipe: Cheese Supper Bread (baked in a pie pan)

CHEESE SUPPER BREAD

"This is a quick-to-mix bread baked in a pie pan. Use your favorite medium-hard cheese, or even a combination; this is a delicious way to use up any leftover cheeses you may have on hand."

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese (4 ounces) (Swiss, cheddar, and muenster work best)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, oil, egg, milk, and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened; the dough will be stiff but sticky.

Transfer it to prepared pie pan and, with floured hands, pat it evenly into the bottom. Drizzle with the melted butter and evenly sprinkle the remaining cheese and the poppy seeds over the top.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
