### Ingredients and Preparation
#### Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this no-oven cheese bread, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of grated cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
– 1 tablespoon of baking powder
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1 cup of milk
– 1 egg
– 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil
– Optional: herbs and spices like oregano, thyme, or garlic powder for extra flavor
#### Preparation Steps
1. **Mix the Dry Ingredients:** Begin by combining the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed, as this will help the bread rise properly.
2. **Add the Cheese:** Next, fold in the grated cheese. This is where you can get creative—experiment with different types of cheese or even a blend for a unique flavor profile.
3. **Prepare the Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Make sure these ingredients are well combined before proceeding to the next step.
4. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:** Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously. Aim for a smooth batter that is free of lumps.
5. **Season to Taste:** If you’re adding herbs or spices, now is the time to mix them into the batter. This adds an extra layer of flavor to your cheese bread.
6. **Cooking the Bread:** Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a portion of the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a round, flat bread. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
### Tips for Perfect Cheese Bread
Creating the perfect cheese bread without an oven involves a few key tips:
– **Choosing the Cheese:** Opt for a cheese that melts well. Cheddar is a popular choice, but mozzarella or gouda can also work beautifully.
– **Consistency of Batter:** The batter should be thick but pourable. Adjust with a little more milk or flour if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
– **Skillet Temperature:** Ensure your skillet is adequately heated before adding the batter. This helps in achieving a crisp, golden crust.
– **Flipping the Bread:** Use a spatula to carefully flip the bread. If the bread is sticking, give it a bit more time; it should release easily from the skillet when ready to flip.
