Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour

Tips for Making Crusty Cheese Bread:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and freshly grated Parmesan will give you the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to develop flavor and texture.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven: This will create a crispy crust.
  • Brush the bread with butter or olive oil before baking: This will help the bread to brown and give it a shiny crust.
