Notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and high-quality mozzarella.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, broil the bread for an additional 2 minutes after baking.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in a toaster oven.
- You can customize the cheese blend by adding provolone or cheddar for a unique twist.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
