Cheese bread is a soft, warm bread filled or topped with cheese, popular in many cuisines. It’s simple comfort food—crispy outside, soft inside, and rich with melted cheese.
🧀 What it is
At its core, cheese bread combines:
- Dough (flour, yeast, water/milk, salt)
- Cheese (inside, on top, or mixed in)
One famous version is Pão de queijo, made with tapioca flour and cheese, known for its chewy, airy texture.
