Instructions: Broccoli and cheese bread

Cook the broccoli until they become tender. Drain and set aside until they are lukewarm.
In a bowl mix the eggs with oil and milk and set aside.
In a second large bowl put the flour, grated cheese, smoked scamorza cheese (cut into small cubes), instant yeast, a pinch of salt and pepper. Chop the broccoli and add them to the flour. Mix everything until broccoli is well covered with flour.
Pour the liquid mix into the bowl with the flour and broccoli and stir briefly until all the ingredients are incorporated. The batter should be fairly thick. Pour the batter into the baking pan lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with more cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180° C for 40 – 45 minutes.
