How to prepare the Cheese Bread

The sourdough cheese bread is a very special item. It surely must be the most special bread in Playa del Carmen. As such it requires special care to be enjoyed to the fullest.

Here is the rundown!

Keep the bread frozen

Please keep the bread frozen or at a bare minimum in the refrigerator. This is because it is filled with butter and cheese, both of which are very sensitive to heat. In order to facilitate its preparation delivery and enjoyment, we give it to you frozen. It’s important you keep it in the freezer until the moment you prepare it.

Minimum requirements

You will need a toaster oven as a bare minimum to be able to prepare it.

You will be complete if you do have a microwave oven also.

Step one: preheat your gaz oven

If you are using a full fledged oven pelase pre-heat it 20 minutes before hand on a low setting. 1 or 2 (180°C approx)

Step two : Thaw and melt in the microwave

First you will need to unfreeze the bread and start melting the cheese. That is simply because if you put it directly into the oven the exterior will brown and burn way before the center has a chance to thaw.

You want to first put it in the microwave at full power for 1 minute at a time, checking on it after every minute. You are looking for the cheese to start melting.

1 to 3 minutes should be enough.

If you don’t have a microwave I recommend you let the bread thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooking it.

Step three: Brown and crisp in the Oven

Once the bread is thawed it’s time to put it in the oven for 5 minutes in order to dry it back to crispiness. You are looking for a brown golden crust.

Serve and enjoy
