Cheese Bomb Recipe – Easy Appetizer Recipes

So what is a cheese bomb? Small bread dough filled with cheese and baked to perfection. Nothing fancy. When you break open the cute looking bread roll, the molten cheese will ooze out making it a great snack for kids. I am sure kids would love to see the molten cheese. In fact my daughter was so thrilled at the cheese inside the roll.  I made it for her after school snack and she just loved it. You can even deep fry these little bundle of dough, and you can also go creative with the dough. I have kept it simple and used half maida and half wheat flour. If you want to make it completely with wheat flour, even that is fine. The recipe can be easily customised.

As mentioned in my yesterday’s post, I reserved half the dough I made for the pizza calzones and used it up in this recipe. This was so easy to make as I had both the dough and the cheese ready. I just shaped them and baked them and they were ready when Sruti came home. I thought they were bland without any spice, but my daughter loved them. She skipped her dinner and had these for both snacks and dinner. I loved the way the cheese melted inside the rolls. Be sure to pinch the dough properly, otherwise, all the cheese will end up on the tray and the roll will be hollow (yes, it happened in this batch and hubby got that. He was searching for the cheese) You can add some spices along with the cheese and use garlic butter to brush the top of the rolls. It is up to you how flavourful you will make it. I kept it very simple as my daughter is not a great fan of spicy breads.
