Description

This Easy Cheesy Snack Bread is the ultimate comfort food for game day, potlucks, or a cozy family dinner. It features a soft, pillowy dough infused with garlic, Italian seasoning, and plenty of melted cheddar cheese. The addition of diced green chilies and sweet pimentos adds a tangy kick and beautiful color contrast to every bite. Unlike traditional yeast breads that require kneading, this recipe uses a simple stir-and-bake method, making it incredibly accessible for beginner bakers. The result is a golden, aromatic loaf that pulls apart easily into warm, cheesy squares. Serve it fresh from the oven for the best texture, pairing it well with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack. Its a crowd-pleaser that disappears quickly.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Grease a 15x10x3/4-inch (2-liter) jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, Italian seasoning, salt, and minced garlic.
  3. Pour the very warm water into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  4. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  5. Add the eggs and 1/2 cup more flour to the bowl. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl immediately after starting.
  6. Using a spoon, mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and enough of the remaining flour to form a soft, sticky dough.
  7. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface or use lightly oiled hands to spread it evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the dough.
  10. Distribute the diced green chilies and sliced pimentos over the top of the cheese.
  11. Cover the pan loosely and let the bread rise in a warm, draft-free place until light and puffy, about 20 minutes.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into squares.
  14. Serve warm. Makes about 24 squares.
