After a long day of work indulging in some quick titbits is the first thing that many of us like to do. Bread is the most common type of food that we like to choose simply because it can be anything you want. The versatility of the bread gave us enough room to experiment with it in various forms whether it is a simple butter-jam sandwich, cheese toast or pizza-bread. We just love them all.
When it comes to fusion, bread is the only ingredient that can be adapted as per any cuisine. Since we Indians have a weak spot for Indo-Chinese food, today, we bring you the recipe of cheesy schezwan bread. It is a perfect snack to devour when you are feeling hungry and want to eat something fulfilling. The sandwich contains fillings of crispy veggies along with a hearty mixture of cheese which will surely satiate you to bits. Preparing Chinese food at home can sometimes become quite a hassle but with these simple steps and easily available ingredients, you can make them in no time. So, here’s the recipe for your scrumptious delight.
