I am doing bread in a jar for a gift basket. It calls for Parmesan cheese(beer bread) what can i use for replacement if i have no Parmesan cheese. Is it necessary to add this ingredient?
Best Answer
Any hard cheese will/should do.
Something like Pecorino Romano, Asiago or Manchego or dried Monterey Jack can be substituted quite easily.
Heck (heresy) Get some Kraft Parmesan (yes, the cheap stuff in a box).
Other cheeses like Cheddar will melt and change the property of the bread (IMO).
