Cheesy Version: Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese before baking.

Garlic Twist: Add 1–2 minced garlic cloves or garlic powder to the dough for a savory kick.

FAQ
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, substitute up to half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat. You may need a bit more water to get the right texture.

Can I bake this in a skillet?
Absolutely. A cast iron skillet works well—just make sure it’s preheated and lightly greased.

Why didn’t my bread rise much?
This is a quick bread, so it won’t rise like yeast bread. But if it feels too dense, make sure your baking powder is fresh and not expired.
