I believe almost everyone loves freshly-baked bread. I bet you can easily imagine its irresistible aroma right now in the air.. 😉 If you have ever tried to make your own bread, you may know that it’s a complex and work-intensive process, especially if you’re making a starter for the dough. The fermentation takes up to 4 days, and you need to keep an eye on the starter and feed it almost like a baby. So, not everybody has a patience or simply time to make it, and for those mankind created yeast! Using yeast makes our lives easier (at least for me); such dough doesn’t take all that much time, and you only need a few ingredients to make a simple bread. And definitely homemade bread is tastier that a store-bought one.
It wasn’t complicated at all to make this beautiful wheel bread. Actually, it reminds me more a pie without a filling, but I absolutely love its texture (because of corn flour) and awesome herb-y smell!
- In a cup, put yeast and sugar, add some warm water, stir, cover and keep for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, sift flours, add salt. Then stir in the yeast. Slowly add all warm water and knead the dough. Place the dough on a table and knead it, then put back into bowl, cover with plascti wrap or towel and leave to rise for 40-60 minutes.
- For the fiiling, in a small bowl combine all ingredients.
- On a lightly floured surface kneed the dough lightly. Roll out into 5-6mm thick circle, cut into 5-6cm width strips. Spread the fiiling on the dough. Then arrange all strips into ‘a rose’ (on a lined baking sheet), starting from the smallest strip, continue rolling other strips around it.
- Bake in preheated oven 190C for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow it to cool slightly on a wire cooling rack. Serve with a glass of milk or cup of tea.
Looks so delicious😋
Thanks!😀
Nice looking and interesting wheel Mila! 🙂 Great filling…
You can swap the filling to any you like-more garlic or basil, or whatever))
Wow, what a flavorful and fun bread recipe!
Oh yes, it was easy and funny to shape this bread))
Easy and fun, that is exactly how cooking should always be 🙂
Beautiful wheel bread Mila 🙂
Love all the herbs!
And you can use your favourite herbs and play with filling- that what I love the most) )
I think there’s no need for the recommendation to consume the day it was made – I doubt anyone can keep it longer and not eat it all once it’s out of the oven! 🙂
Actually I tried to keep it longer-2 days more, I covered and put it in the fridge, then reheated, it was dull, not that soft and tasty as at the first day😬
Wow this really looks amazing! It is so appealing and I am sure delicious!
I have never heard of this!! Wish there were photos of how you made it… Love the topping/filling.
Will make pics next time. You need to roll out a big circle, then cut into strips, spread the filling. Then roll/shape into “a rose”, roll strips over the previous. Hope it helps. 😊
okay, thanks!
I love the smell of freshly baked bread and your wheel bread is sure to impress, visually and taste wise – yum!
It’s super-easy bread, or more snack-bread 🙂 but tastes pretty good!
Your blog is beautifull too ❤ So happy I found this. Love, Anna
Nice to meet you, Anna! 🙂
Have a lovely week!

By corn flour, do you mean corn meal? For those of us in America, that’s a slightly coarser version of polenta.
Yes I meant meal/polenta, I threw the package, but as far as I remember it wasn’t coarse 😁 I will go to the store tomorrow, where I bought it and will let you know what it was/how it’s called here exactly😊
Hello, Glenda! I’m so sorry but I still haven’t got to that store..
No, you did good. Don’t worry about! 😉
G’day, Glenda! It’s called “cornmeal (polenta) fine” here. There is also “cornmeal (polenta) coarse”, but I used the fist one – “fine”.
Thank you!
This bread looks beautiful! I can imagine how good your kitchen smelled while baking it. I love all the herbs. Lovely!
Oh yes- the aroma was everywhere, and I guess even my neighbors could smell it! 😀
Wow – this makes me want to make bread right now!! I love the shape – it looks amazing!
Ginger, you’re such a good baker, so you can make this bread very quickly. Enjoy! 🙂
This is so unique. I need to give it a shot. I love the combo if rosemary and sun dried tomatoes. I bet the corn flour adds an element of sweetness. Wow.
Oh yeap-this bread was created for photo-shooting! 😄You can also “play” with herbs in the filling..
Thanks for your lovely words! Xoxo
