Live life with flavour with this exquisite picnic recipe for smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber loaf. Cholla is an egg enriched, plaited bread that is usually covered with poppy or sesame seeds – you can buy it from supermarkets. If you can't find it, use a small bloomer with a soft crust.

1. Cut the cholla loaf in half through the middle. Spread cream cheese over both halves, then top the bottom half with the smoked salmon, dill and cucumber. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper, then sandwich with the top half of the loaf.
Don't forget to take a knife to cut the loaf on your picnic. Parma ham, honeyroast ham and salami also make good bedfellows with the cucumber and cheese. You can make this the day before and keep it covered in the fridge – bring back to room temperature before serving.
2. Tie with string (or wrap in cling film) and wrap in baking paper. Pop the bread in a basket on top of an ice pack wrapped in a napkin (or use a coolbox), so you can carry it safely to your picnic.
