FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture may be more dense. You might want to replace half of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour for lighter bread.
Is it okay to use pre-shredded cheese?
Yes, pre-shredded cheese is convenient, but it often contains anti-caking agents. Freshly shredded cheese has a better flavor and texture.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to give it a good stir before putting it in the oven.
