You can enhance the flavor by adding shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or even cooked bacon bits to the batter. These additions can give the bread a savory twist, making it a great accompaniment to various meals.
How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread is done when it is golden brown on the top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it after the 15-minute mark to prevent over-baking.
