Not the best photo, but if you ask those who tasted it it was mighty good
This will be a future recipe I will use with my own homegrown herbs onc ethey are matured

Recipe as follows, feel free to be free with it and alter recipe to your liking.
I believe that the joy of being a chef is making every recipe origanal and custome for you and those who you cook for, if you can be free in the kitchen, your food will taste much better as a little bit of your creativety and soul will be in every bite.

Easy Cheesy loaf of Bread:

1 tbsp lemon, fresh of juice
1 cup milk
2 1/4 cup All purpose flour (feel free to use whole wheat, I substituted the 1/4 with flax seeds)
1 small onion diced (vidallia or just regualr cooking onions if you wish)
1 cup of whatever kind of shredded cheese you wnat (old cheddar with some parmisian, I recomend)
1/4 cup of your favourite mixed herbs (I used, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, chives, black pepper, [dried or fresh])
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cold and finely chopped butter

Steps to Success:
Step 1. preheat oven to 375 F, in a small bowl strir in lemon juice with milk in order to sour the milk for atleast five minutes. In sperate larger bowl, mix together flour, shedded cheese, herbs, baking powder/soda, salt until well combined

Step 2. cut in butter until crumbly use two knifes. Add your carmalized onions. Add milk and stir until dough comes together. You can either kneed the dough on a lightly floured surface or just in the bowl (less mess), until it all comes together, kneed about ten times.

Step 3. place dough on parchment paper lined baking tray and pat it down until its 1 inch thick all around like a disk. Dust the top of the loaf with flour. Score the dough into an X to be fancy smancy. Bake for around 30- 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack once done and let cool before you dig in.

Hope you try this easy recipe. It's very quick, healthy if you use wholewheat flour, requires no eggs, little butter, and no yeats so no wait. perfect for a beginner bread maker.

Excellent for an easter brunch, sure to impress anyone, serve with cheese slices, or butter or whatever you want.

I found this recipe in a Sobeys magazine from LCBO. I changed the recipe a bit to suite my own liking and hopefully yours as well
