Goats’ Cheese, Onion And Potato Bread With Thyme

I heard R. C. Sproul explain it this way: He said that apart from God there is no reason for human significance and no grounds for self-worth. Consider the alternative. If you don't believe in God, then you don’t have any reason for being here. You must believe that you are simply the product of impersonal time plus chance. And when you die, you must believe that you simply cease to exist and vanish into eternal nothingness. In short, if you leave God out, what you are left with is this: You didn't come from anywhere and you aren’t going anywhere after you die. This is the humanist dilemma. They say, “You come from nothing and you're going to nothing, but in between you have great significance.” It doesn't make sense at all.

INSTRUCTIONS

You'll need a small, solid baking sheet, very well greased.  1 Preheat
oven to 190c/375f/Gas 5. Take a sharp knife, pare the rind  from the
cheese and cut into 1cm/ 1/2" cubes.  2 Sift the flour, salt and
cayenne into a big, roomy mixing bowl,  holding the sieve up high to
give the flour a good airing.  3 Thinly pare off the potato skin using
a potato peeler and grate the  potato into the flour using the coarse
side of the grater. Add the  spring onions, thyme and 2/3 cheese. Blend
together thoroughly with a  palette knife.  4 Beat the egg gently with
the milk and mustard and pour into the  bowl, bringing it together to a
loose, rough dough, still using the  palette knife.  5 Transfer on to
the baking sheet and pat gently into a 15cm/6" rough  round. Lightly
press the rest of the cheese over the surface, dust  with flour and
scatter the same sprigs of thyme over.  6 Bake the bread on the middle
shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes or  until golden brown. Remove to a
cooling rack and serve it still  slightly warm if possible.  Substitute
the goats' cheese for the same amount of cubed Feta cheese, 1/4 red
onion, peeled and finely chopped, instead of the spring onions, use
rosemary instead of thyme.  Before baking, scatter over a quarter of an
onion, sliced into  half-moon shapes, along with some small sprigs of
rosemary and a few  halved olives.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per
