Soft Cheese Loaf with Cumin Seeds
Part of the cheese goes straight into the dough, and the rest browns on top near the end of baking. Whole cumin seeds give an aniseed edge that plays against the melted cheese. Everything happens in one container, closed for both the rise and the bake.

Ingredients
Method
Dissolve the yeast in a small bowl with 50 ml (3 1/2 tbsp) of the lukewarm water and leave for 10 minutes until it has fully dissolved.
Gather the flour, salt, cumin, dissolved yeast and remaining 200 ml (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) of water in a large bowl. Work it first with a spatula, then finish kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and pulls cleanly from the sides. Work in 100 g (1 cup) of the cheese.
Place the dough in the Tupperware Ultra Pro 2 l, close it and let it rise for 30 minutes in an oven set to 60 °C (140 °F).
Take the Ultra Pro out and heat the oven to 210 °C (410 °F). Scatter the rest of the cheese on top, close the lid again and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
As soon as it is done, turn the loaf out onto a rack straight away.
