Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 50 grams Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, active dry yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal parts.

Step 7

Roll each piece of dough into a long baguette shape and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix low-fat mozzarella and cheddar cheeses with garlic powder and dried oregano.

Step 9

Make a shallow slit along the length of each baguette and fill it evenly with the cheese mixture.

Step 10

Lightly brush or spray water over the baguettes to create steam during baking, which helps form a crisp crust.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 13

Allow the baguettes to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
