Cheesy soft bread rolls for a quick evening snack. Bread flour is used for this recipe which usually yields slightly chewy, but soft dense texture bread. My college cafeteria used to have this soft white bread sticks which i always crave for …. as there is no escapism, the whole corridor smells like parmesan cheese and just makes irresistibly hungry during mid morning breaks. So… tried that at home too which was soo easy and satisfying. This is made with all-purpose and its quite similar process wise with slightly change in measures and temperature. Try both and have fun.
Simple , quick, easy, crispy and definitely tasty !! Oh boy ! it disappears in minutes…, use it as an accompaniment for rice or as a starter or just as a simple snacking item.
