This bread makes for a lovely variation from a basic bread. The individual slices can be pulled apart. Best enjoyed fresh after baking.
ingredients
560 g (4 x 250 ml) cake or white bread flour
7 ml (1 1/4 tsp) salt
7 ml (5 g) instant dry yeast
125 ml (1/2 cup) milk
250 ml (1 cup) water

Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in greased bowl.
Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until double in volume.
Knead down and divide in 12 equal pieces, shaping each into balls.
Lightly flour and flatten each to about 8cm in diameter, or width of bread pan.
Mix Spur Cheese Sauce with grated cheese and parsley and set aside.
Grease large bread pan, and hold pan upright. Start placing one disk on base, spoon about 15ml (1 Tbsp) cheese sauce mix onto disk, followed by another disk and sauce.
Continue stacking disks, with sauce in between each, until completed.
Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes or longer, until risen slightly.
Sprinkle a little extra cheese, sesame seeds and Spur Chutney Spice .
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes. Loosen edges with a sharp knife, turn out and serve warm.
