Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- Optional: fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), grated cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet, sauté onion until softened. Add garlic until fragrant, then add shredded cabbage. Cook until tender and slightly caramelized (15-20 minutes). Let cool slightly.
- Activate the Yeast: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough: Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add yeast mixture and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Combine and Bake: Fold cooled cabbage mixture into the dough. Form a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Let rise for 1 hour until doubled. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). Cool in pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t skip sautéing the cabbage to enhance its sweetness and prevent sogginess.
- Ensure your yeast is active by checking for foam before adding to flour.
- Proper kneading develops gluten for a light and airy bread.
- Cool the bread completely before slicing to allow the crumb to set.
