It's no exaggeration to say that chia seeds are incredibly versatile. Whether you're making cookies, bread, or sweet bread, they add a wonderful flavor to everything. The gel in chia seeds locks in moisture, making bread softer and more moist inside, and also increasing satiety. I've always believed that if you're unsure what bread to make for guests, this baked cheese bread is a great choice. It's creamy and delicious, suitable for all ages. Combined with the crunchy texture of chia seeds, it's less overpowering than sesame seeds, offering a subtle yet delightful flavor. - This recipe makes 12 breads.

Tips for making the versatile Chia Seed Liquid Starter Baked Cheese Bread B137
△ Different brands of flour have different water absorption rates depending on the humidity of the air. Please adjust the amount of liquid according to the actual situation of the dough, for example, ±10~20 grams; △ It is easier to control the cheese sauce when it is frozen into a paste-like consistency and prevents it from spreading; △ The temperature is for reference only. Please adjust it according to the characteristics of your own oven.
