Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour: <\/strong>This recipe uses all-purpose flour. You can easily replace it with bread flour for a chewier bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk:<\/strong> Whole milk works the best for a rich, tender texture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil:<\/strong> For flavor and moistness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0Use whatever hard cheese is available to you.\u00a0 I love to use mozzarella for its gooey texture and that cheesy pull. But I have also used the combination of mozzarella and cheddar.\u00a0 My only suggestion is to stick to a cheese that melts nicely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeast:<\/strong> You can use active dry yeast or instant yeast. Please make sure your yeast is fresh.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter:<\/strong> I used salted butter for making garlic butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic:<\/strong> I highly recommend fresh garlic here for the best flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
