Ingredients
  

For the Bread Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour For a heartier taste, try whole wheat flour instead.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder A must for that perfect rise; double-check its freshness!
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Feel free to switch to sea salt for a gourmet touch.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Olive oil can be a healthier swap.
  • 1 cup milk Buttermilk offers a delightful tang, if preferred.
  • 1 large egg, beaten A flax egg works beautifully as a vegan option.
For the Savory Additions
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Experiment with different varieties like feta or gouda for new twists.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley), chopped Dried herbs can substitute, just remember to use less.
