3 tablespoon shredded Parmesan Cheese

Notes

For Leftovers: wrap any leftover bread in aluminum foil and reheat it in the oven for a few minutes to restore its gooey goodness.

To Freeze: wrap the unbaked, assembled bread in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw it before baking.
