Spicy Kick: Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or a few chopped jalapeños for heat.

Herbed Cheese Bread: Stir in chopped chives, parsley, or thyme for an herbal note.

Different Cheeses: Try sharp white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses for a unique twist.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use pre-shredded cheese?
A: Yes, though freshly shredded cheese melts better and gives the bread a softer texture.

Q: Can I use whole wheat flour?
A: You can substitute half the flour with whole wheat, but the texture will be slightly denser.

Q: Why did my bread turn out dry?
A: Be careful not to overbake and make sure your measurements are accurate. Overmixing can also lead to dryness.
