Pumpkin Seed Cheese Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/3 cups self-rising flour
    5 1/2 tbsp unsalted cold butter, finely chopped
    2 oz aged cheese, grated
    4 oz feta cheese, finely crumbled
    1 tbsp caraway seeds (optional)
    3/4 cup skim milk, + 1 tbsp extra
    2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. For the dough, sift flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the cheeses and caraway seeds, if using, then make a well in the center. Add the milk and stir with a blunt knife until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until just smooth.
    Shape the dough into an 8 inch round and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using a large sharp knife, draw 8 wedges on the top. Brush with the extra milk and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds. Bake 20-25 mins, until the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Serve warm.
