💡 Tips for Best Herb & Cheese Bread
- Use fresh herbs if available for more aroma.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
- Cheese can be varied: Gruyère, mozzarella, or a sharp cheddar works beautifully.
- This bread stores well in an airtight container for 2–3 days or can be frozen for longer.
