Poached Pear and Feta Bread:
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup hard butter
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 cup dices poached pear
- 1/2 cup crumbled herb feta
Method
Get all your ingredients together to make sure you have everything you need. In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix together with a whisk. Add in hard diced butter and using a pastry cutter, cut the butter to a crumble in size. Add in the poached pears and feta; mix till all the pears and cheese is dusted with flour. Make a well in the middle of the flour. Pour in the cold milk and mix with a wooden spoon. Once it just becomes mixed, bump out onto a flat surface and knead a few times. Do not over knead, you just want it to come together. Shape into a 9 inch circle. Dust the top with flour and score an x on top. Place onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 40 - 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
