Cheese Bread is one of the most traditional breads in Colombia, just like buñuelos and pandebonos, and you can enjoy them with a delicious cup of chocolate or coffee at any time of the day. That's why we're making them today.

Cheese bread is a staple used to accompany breakfasts, snacks, or to eat at any time of the day. And nothing is better than having it with a good cup of hot chocolate, coffee, or café con leche.

Just like buñuelos, cheese bread is an essential item in Colombian kitchens, and even more in bakeries. So wherever you go and find coffee shops, I'm sure you'll encounter the famous cheese breads.

What's unique about cheese bread?

Even though its initial preparation is like any other bread, cheese bread has a distinctive flavor, aroma, and texture, setting it apart from other bakery items, and making it stand out among all the choices we have.

I love making cheese bread at home with my grandmother, sharing stories, moments, and smiles. But the best part is the end, when we can sit down and enjoy warm cheese breads with a cup of coffee. I wouldn't trade those moments for anything in the world; they make me very happy.

For all these reasons and the moments that can be shared over some good cheese breads, I wanted to share this recipe with you. Especially because it is a traditional dish from our country that we must make.

I hope you get inspired to prepare this typical recipe at home and share wonderful moments with your family. Let's cook.

Can I replace cornflour with wheat flour?

It's not recommended, as the cornflour gives the characteristic texture and flavor to the Cheese Bread.

Helpful Tips

  • Make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before placing the breads in for even cooking.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can use aluminum foil greased with butter to prevent the breads from sticking to the tray.

Recommendations

  • Experiment with different cheeses to find the blend you like the most, as long as they have a mild flavor and aren't too salty.
  • To keep the breads fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Common Mistakes

  • Not measuring the ingredients correctly. It's crucial to follow the amounts specified in the recipe to achieve the desired texture and flavor.
  • Opening the oven before the breads are fully cooked. This can cause them to deflate and remain raw inside.
