Questions about Cheese bread
How do you reheat cheese bread without drying it out?
Warm slices in a 160°C oven for about 5–8 minutes, or toast them briefly. For a microwave, cover a slice with a barely damp paper towel and heat in short bursts; it will be softer rather than crisp.
How should you store cheese bread?
Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature and eat it within a couple of days. For longer storage, wrap slices well and freeze them; reheat from frozen in a 160°C oven until hot.
Can you freeze cheese bread?
Yes. Freeze it in slices with baking paper between them so you can take out just what you need. Toast or bake the slices straight from frozen until warmed through and lightly crisp.
What cheese works best in cheese bread?
A firm, flavourful cheese that melts well, such as mature Cheddar, gives a savoury taste without making the dough too wet. Grate it finely and mix it through the dough for an even distribution.
What goes well with cheese bread?
Serve it warm with soup, a salad or eggs, or split a slice and add tomato and chutney. It also works well alongside a cheese board, especially with fruit or pickles to cut through the richness.
Is cheese bread the same as Brazilian cheese bread?
No. Brazilian cheese bread, or pão de queijo, is typically made with tapioca starch and cheese, giving it a chewy, stretchy centre and a crisp shell. Cheese bread is a broader name for bread made with cheese and is often more like a savoury loaf or roll.
Is cheese bread more filling than a plain bread roll?
It has more fat and energy per 100 g: cheese bread has 408 kcal and 21 g fat, compared with 280 kcal and 9 g fat in a cheese bread roll. A slice of cheese bread is typically 48 g.
Can you eat cheese bread cold?
Yes; it is already baked, so it can be eaten cold. Warming it brings back a crisper crust and makes the cheese flavour more pronounced.
