How to Serve Cheese Bread

How to Store Cheese Bread

Once the cheese bread has cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.

Tips to Make Cheese Bread

• For extra flavor, try adding herbs or spices like garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the batter.

FAQs

Q: Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes, if you use self-rising flour, you can skip the baking powder and salt since they are already included in self-rising flour.

Q: What is the best cheese to use?
A: Cheddar and mozzarella are great choices, but you can use any cheese you enjoy, such as pepper jack for a bit of heat or feta for a tangy flavor.

Q: How do I know when the cheese bread is done baking?
A: The bread is done when it’s golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
