Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice of cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

- 3/4 cup milk

- 1/4 cup melted butter

- 1 large egg

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:

Begin by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly to avoid sticking.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well blended.

Add Cheese:

Incorporate the shredded cheese into the dry mixture, tossing it gently to ensure that the cheese is coated with flour. This step helps to prevent clumping during baking.

Whisk Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until you achieve a smooth mixture, making sure the melted butter has cooled slightly so it doesn't cook the egg.

Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Together:

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Shape the Balls:

With your hands, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place these on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for rising.

Bake to Perfection:

Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have risen nicely. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when they’re done.

Let Cool and Serve:

Once baked, take the cheese bread balls out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If you like, sprinkle with fresh herbs to add color and flavor. Serve these warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.

Cheese bread balls are a scrumptious treat that appeals to cheese enthusiasts and snack lovers alike. With their crisp exterior and melted cheese center, they make for the perfect finger food. Lykkers, enjoy them fresh from the oven for the ultimate experience, and watch as they quickly vanish!
