Cheese Soft French

My family really loves cheese. 

And you can see that I love to use cheese for baking too. 

This time, I add cheese to the basic bread recipe "Soft French". The difference between French bread and soft French is Soft French uses milk and butter. It has a chewy texture, goes well with many kinds of food, and the most important thing is it's easy to make!

You can shape and score the dough to make it look like a mini French bread, this time I combine it with cheese topping. I use pizza cheese (Mozzarella) and Grated parmigiano reggiano but you can use other cheese to suit your taste ^^.

I mix the cheese and mayonnaise together to add more taste and the mayonnaise makes the cheese melt thoroughly. 

If you love cheese, this cheesy bread will make you very happy!!!
