Mushroom Chicken

Cheese and thyme are a heavenly match in breads, especially when some is sprinkled over top to create a crunchy, addictive crust. Try it as the base for a wonderful grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
Creaming butter and sugar is a popular task with junior cooks. Beating the butter and sugar thoroughly ensures a light cake, but as soon as the dry and liquid ingredients are added, the less stirring, the better. This tasty loaf, dotted throughout with raisins, is perfect for teatime.
This cake stays flavourful and moist even when baked the night before serving.
Fresh rosemary and garlic gently kneaded into this easy loaf give sandwiches an extra layer of flavour. Try this bread with roast chicken, thinly sliced ham or roast beef.
Don't let the two-step process of this special round loaf scare you. The first step takes a mere 10 minutes and is key to developing the loaf's deep granary flavour. Spraying the oven in the initial stage of baking produces a thick, chewy, deep golden crust.
Thyme adds incredible depth of flavour to all sorts of dishes. Here, it's a fragrant partner to sharp Cheddar in the middle and on top of a delicious loaf.
