Cheesy Cobb Bread

Introduction

This is a lovely light savoury bread. Nice for dunking in stews or with spag bol Makes lovely toast. Very easy and idiot proof. I used mature cheddar cheese but any hard cheese of your choice would do. I also use english mustard for it's strength but any mustard would do if english is not an option. Make sure the dough is not too dry as the gluten absorbs water during the kneading stage.
