No-Yeast No-Bake Homemade Bread Stuffed with Cheese & Herbs

From Albert Bevia:
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: Since this is a quick bread, make sure you knead the dough for at least 1 minute. This helps develop some of the gluten strands in the dough. Which gives the bread a great flavor and texture. I cooked my breads between 60 to 75 seconds per side on a medium heat. This was enough to cook the dough fully through and made the cheese perfectly melted.
