Cato's Cheese Bread (Libum)

1 c Feta cheese, drained,

Crumbled, and packed into The measuring cup 1/2 c Unbleached, all-purpose

Flour 1 Egg, beaten

6 Bay leaves

2 tb Honey

1) Put the cheese into a medium sized mixing bowl. Mash well with the

fingers until it becomes a smooth, lumpless paste. Add the flour and mix well with the fingers. Add the beaten egg and mix well. The dough will be rather sticky. 2) Divide the dough into two equal parts, then form two round, flat, 1/2

inch thick loaves. Lay each on three bay leaves set on a greased baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until cooked through. 3) Remove the loaves from the oven, spread the tops with the honey, and

let cool. Remove the bay leaves before serving. NOTE: If feta cheese is unavailable, use 1 cup cottage cheese and add 1/4 cup extra flour (but the taste is inferior).
