  • 1 large egg πŸ₯š
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or chives) 🌿

πŸ“ Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

  1. Mix the dry ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  1. Add the wet ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  1. Add the cheese and herbs:
  • Fold in the shredded cheese and chopped herbs (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

2. Cook the Bread:

  1. Heat the frying pan:
  • Place a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  1. Add the dough:
  • Pour the dough into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a thick, round loaf.
  1. Cook on the stove:
  • Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the bread has puffed up.
  1. Flip the bread:
  • Carefully flip the bread over using a spatula, then cover again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.

3. Serve:

  1. Cool and slice:
  • Once cooked, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. Slice into wedges or pieces and serve warm.
  1. Optional toppings:
  • For extra flavor, brush the top of the bread with a little melted butter or sprinkle with more cheese and herbs before serving.
