Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Cheese Bread—soft, cheesy, and perfect as a snack or side.
Ingredients (makes 12–16 rolls)
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 large egg
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp grated Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper cups.
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Mix wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil (or butter), and egg.
- Combine:
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter will be thick but slightly sticky.
- Fill the tin:
- Spoon batter into muffin tin, filling about ¾ full.
- Optional: sprinkle Parmesan or extra cheese on top.
- Bake:
- Bake 18–22 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve:
- Let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter, soups, or salads.
✨ Tips:
- For extra cheesy pull-apart bread, fold some cheese into the center of each muffin before baking.
- You can add herbs like garlic powder, chives, or oregano for more flavor.
- If you prefer a slightly crispier top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
If you want, I can also give a Brazilian-style pão de queijo version, which uses tapioca flour and gives a chewy, cheesy texture that’s addictive.
Do you want that version too?
