I remember as a child, my grandmother would fire up the oven right after dinner, and the kitchen would fill with the incredible aroma of freshly baked bread, which would disappear from the table as soon as it cooled. This Greek cheese bread evokes exactly those memories – a soft, slightly moist crust, melt-in-your-mouth cheese, and delicate herbs that bring harmony. This bread is a kitchen magic for me, one I’m happy to share again and again – not only for its flavor, but also for the warmth you feel in every bite. If you haven’t baked this bread before, prepare for a true adventure and the comfort of home that warms your heart.
