Ingredients
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yogurt
1 tsp baking soda
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients in large bowl
Add yogurt slowly while stirring
Shape into balls; let rise 15 minutes under damp cloth
Place on baking sheet, brush with milk, bake 35 minutes
Immediately apply cheese glaze for glossy crust
Notes
Pre-shred cheese 24 hours before for enhanced moisture extraction
Microwave yogurt 5 seconds before adding to neutralize off-odors
Use digital oven thermometer – consumer models typically read 40°F lower
Cook at altitude: increase 10°F per 1,000 feet elevation
Avoid over-shredded cheese (go finer than 1/4″) causes weeping
Replace 1/4 cup all-purpose flour with almond flour for gluten-free
Incomplete hydration causes reliance solely on cheese moisture
Oversized portions (>150g dough) create sagging meridians
Under-proofing inhibits cheese layer expansion during rise
