    Shredded or Diced

    With cheese being at a all time high and I’m using Grande’s East coast blend $3.34# would I be better off using diced instead of shredded?

    More flavour in the dough

    Try making a bega the day before and adding that to your dough. If you don’t know what a bega is just ask Mr. Google he knows everything. I do this and the flavor is a little more yeasty with just a hint of sourness. Kinda like San Francisco sour dough bread. Hope this helps.
