I am a cheese addict, I probably eat it every day in one form or another. One of my favourite ways to enjoy cheese is in a sandwich with pickle; the creamy cheese against the sour pickle creates an explosion of flavour that I just can't resist! A friend of mine gifted me some homemade onion chutney at Christmas and I've had the idea to combine it with cheese in a bread for ages, and I finally found the time to make this Onion Chutney & Cheese Swirl Bread. Of course you can use shop bought chutney if you prefer! This bread is so good with soup, and also as a cheeky snack!

How to make Onion Chutney & Cheese Swirl Bread
To make the dough, stir together the flour, yeast and salt. Then add the water and oil and bring it together into a dough, then knead it for 5 minutes in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Leave it to rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface into a rectangle shape. Then spread the onion chutney out all over the dough. Then sprinkle over the cheese - I used mature cheddar.
Roll the doll up into a sausage shape, then slice it into rolls and arrange them in a lined traybake tin. Leave them to rise again in a warm place for 30 minutes. Then brush them with olive oil and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Bake them for 25 minutes until golden all over. As the chutney has sugar in it, it does darken quite a lot, but it isn't burnt and doesn't affect the taste at all.

This Onion Chutney & Cheese Swirl Bread was so delicious! The tangyness of the onion chutney comes out strongly and every bite is packed with flavour. The bread baked beautifully and was really soft and springy.

Onions and cheese in bread is a winner for me. The red chutney recipe sounds delicious and easy. Thanks for coming to the party at Fiesta Friday.

They look amazing. Would be lovely with a bowl of soup and definitely impressive enough to serve at a dinner party. Cheese pickle and bread what more can one ask for 🙂

These look absolutely delicious and such a great use of the jar of chutney! I think it must go so well in the bread with the cheese and would be a great lunchtime alternative to a sandwich. Thanks so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice!

Breads like this are one of the things I most miss being gluten free..... they just aren't the same! This looks so delicious...... I wish I could eat some xx

just made these, so so good. I'm not that big into chutney, but last year I received a huge chutney selection sent to me by mistake. The jars have been sat in my cupboard which is a shame because I can tell it's high quality stuff. I initially wondered if a whole jar would be too much, but I trusted your recipe and was pleased to see it covered the dough perfectly. Thanks for sharing, will definitely be making these again (still more chutney to get through...!)

Hi Ed, I'm so pleased you liked them and it's helping you use up your chutney! Thanks so much for your feedback 🙂

First attempt at making these today and they turned out so tasty. Will definitely make again.
