Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 0.5 cup low-fat crumbled blue cheese
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water and honey until fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the water mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until it forms a rough dough.

Step 4

Add the non-fat plain Greek yogurt and mix until the dough becomes homogenous and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled low-fat blue cheese gently to distribute evenly throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a bowl lightly coated with olive oil spray, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 9

Cover the loaf loosely with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) during the second rise.

Step 11

Once the loaf has risen, score the top of the dough with a sharp knife to create an ‘X’ shape.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
