Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Button mushrooms (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 item Egg (lightly beaten, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the mushroom filling. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until the moisture evaporates.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and black pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle, about 12x9 inches.

Step 9

Spread the cooled mushroom filling evenly across the rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushroom filling.

Step 11

Roll the dough tightly, starting from the longer side, to form a log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.

Step 12

Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Step 13

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 14

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 15

Brush the top of the rolled dough with the beaten egg for a golden crust.

Step 16

Bake the mushroom bread for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 17

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
