Method

Make dough: mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add liquid and oil. Knead 10 minutes. Prove 1 hour.

Mix cheeses together. Season.

Divide dough into 4. Roll each into an oval. Form into a boat shape by pinching the ends.

Fill generously with cheese mixture.

Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes until bread is golden.

Remove from oven. Make a well in the cheese. Crack an egg in. Add butter pieces. Return to oven 3-4 minutes — yolk should remain runny.

Chef's Tip

The egg yolk must remain runny — this is non-negotiable. Diners stir the yolk and butter into the melted cheese at the table.
