  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic, but you can also try using other favorites like Gruyère, Gouda, or fontina.
  • Season the bread cubes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the loaf.
