Here's a basic recipe for making cheese bread:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice of cheese)
Optional: herbs like rosemary or thyme, garlic powder, or chili flakes for added flavor
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the melted butter and milk until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it's too dry, add a little more milk, and if it's too wet, add a little more flour.
Fold in the shredded cheese and any optional herbs or spices until well combined.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough and shape it into a ball using your hands. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the balls a few inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese bread is golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a bread ball; it should come out clean.
Once baked, remove the cheese bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or side dish.
