- 1/2 teaspoon salt π§
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar π¬
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite) π§
- 3/4 cup milk π₯
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted π§
- 1 large egg π₯
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or chives) πΏ
- Extra butter or oil for greasing the pan π§
π Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- 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.
- 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:
- Heat the frying pan:
- Place a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Add the dough:
- Pour the dough into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a thick, round loaf.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
