For the Bread

  • 1 teaspoon salt You can use sea salt or kosher salt as alternatives.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Feel free to swap mozzarella for a milder taste or cheddar for a sharper kick.
  • 1/2 cup sliced olives Sun-dried tomatoes can offer a different flavor if desired.
  • 2 large eggs Replace with flaxseed meal for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup milk Almond or oat milk serves as superb dairy-free alternatives.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Try using olive oil for a healthier fat choice.
