FAQ:
- Can I use a different type of cheese? Absolutely! You can use any cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or a blend of cheeses all work wonderfully.
- What if I don't have baking powder? If you're out of baking powder, you can substitute it with self-rising flour (just skip the baking powder and salt in the recipe). Alternatively, make your own baking powder using 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice.
- Can I make this recipe gluten-free? Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that your baking powder is also gluten-free if needed.
- Can I make this cheese bread without yogurt? Yes! You can skip the yogurt or sour cream and just use extra milk or water for the moisture. The bread may be slightly less soft but will still taste delicious.
- How do I prevent the bread from burning? Keep the heat on medium-low to prevent the bread from burning. Make sure to flip the bread carefully and check the underside regularly for golden brown color. If the bread seems to cook too fast, lower the heat and continue cooking for longer.
