This Feta Cheese Dill Bread Loaf is a tangy and dense sandwich loaf filled with fresh dill and feta cheese. Makes for great sandwich bread.
I have fully admitted time and time again that my husband and I are carb people.
Especially when going low carb literally killed my husband (luckily he recovered).
We eat a lot of soup and salads and with that we usually always have some sort of bread.
Whether that is a focaccia bread, rolls, or a classic cob. My husband is also makes a sandwich every day.
Sometimes in a tortilla and sometimes in loaf bread.
Just depends if I baked anything that day.
One thing we both LOVE to eat as a snack is cucumber, feta cheese, and olives all tossed in either Greek or Italian dressing.
If we don’t eat it plain we usually wrap it up in a tortilla with hummus or sometimes on sandwich bread.
I decided we needed a bread that would go great with the simple salad we eat all the time.
So out came the feta and I grabbed some dill from my garden and I created this Feta Cheese Dill Loaf Bread.
It’s a denser bread that is almost cake-like.
But man does it make for a great sandwich.
Especially if you toast it a little and the feta kind of melts a little.
So good.
If you are looking for a change to your normal sandwich loaf then this is your new bread.
And as always it’s a great day to order my cookbook.
