Makes 1 medium loaf. Preparation time 20 minutes. Baking time 45 minutes.
4 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 packet (10 g) instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon oil
butter
2 whole camembert cheeses
• Put the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir the yeast and sugar into 1 cup of water. As soon as the yeast mixture starts to foam, pour it into the centre of the flour. Combine the flour and yeast with a wooden spoon and add the rest of the water and the oil until you have a moist and kneadable dough.
• Knead the dough for a few minutes, then cover with a dishcloth. Let it rise for about 30 minutes.
• Grease a small pot with butter. When the dough has doubled in size, knock it down into a flat disc. Stack the camembert wheels in the middle of the disc and gather the rest of the dough around the cheese making a sort of pouch. Pinch the dough to close the seams to stop the cheese from leaking out
• Put the bread in the pot with the seams facing down, Leave it to rise for about 20 minutes. Bake over hot coals with a few embers on the lid for 45 minutes.
• Remove the bread from the pot and cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with preserves.
