Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
- 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet, add onion and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook until cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
- Make the Dough: Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit until foamy. Add olive oil, salt, and gradually add flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Assemble and Proof the Bread: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled. Punch down the dough. Roll into a rectangle, spread cooled cabbage filling, leaving a border. Roll into a log and pinch seams. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let proof for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the Cabbage Bread: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top of the loaf with beaten egg. Bake until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Add cooked bacon or sausage to the cabbage filling for a richer flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere or cheddar in the filling.
- Add herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or dill to the dough.
- For a sweeter bread, add a tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
- Use store-bought pizza dough for an easier option.
