Cheese bread
Cheese bread is a type of bread that is prepared with cheese as a main ingredient. It can be made with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, or a combination of cheeses. Cheese bread is often topped with cheese before baking, which gives it a cheesy crust.
The history of cheese bread recipes is unclear. It is possible that cheese bread has been made since the invention of bread and cheese. The first recorded recipe for cheese bread was published in 1824 by French chef Antonin Carême. This recipe, called pain à la gratinée, was made with Gruyère cheese and was baked in a gratin dish.
In the United States, cheese bread recipes became popular in the early 1900s. One of the first recipes was published in the Boston Cooking School cookbook in 1896. This recipe, called Boston Brown Bread, was made with cheddar cheese and was baked in a tube pan.
Advice
Making cheese bread is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a savory snack. To make cheese bread, start by preheating the oven to 375°F. Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle it with cornmeal. Mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cheese mixture and 1/2 cup of milk. Stir until the ingredients are just combined. Drop the dough onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with additional cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy your cheese bread warm or cold!
