Most of the recipes that I lay out below are simple to make and take very little time.

Indeed, you should spread your choice of toppings over the surface of the dough. You will then need to work the toppings into the dough by dimpling it quickly and thoroughly using all your fingers. Top it all off with olive oil and a dash of sea salt before putting it in the oven.
15. The Ultimate Vegan Cheese Biscuits.
A few tips are useful here. Use cold butter and non-dairy milk. Never mix your wet ingredients until your oven is pre-heated and ready to go. And you should handle the dough as little as possible with your hands. This is done to avoid melting the vegan butter with the heat of your hands. When cutting the dough into rounds for the biscuit, do not twist the cutter. And finally, when placing the biscuits on the baking tray, make sure they touch one another. This will help them rise even faster in the oven.
16. Any Time is a Good Time for a Bagel.
This particular dish is a favorite of mine. I am a big fan of bagels, and I especially like the fact that they can be formed out of jalapeno cheddar bread. The key thing here is to shape the bread into an actual bagel. You must follow the recipe instructions carefully to do this.
If you are a fiend for bagels, then you will like these. They can be eaten for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Indeed, any time is a good time for a warm and well-prepared bagel.

Here are a few tips to get the most out of this dish. Use cold butter and buttermilk. Make sure you chill the dough. This is very important. These biscuits are gluten-free. Chilling gluten-free dough makes it easier to shape and manipulate when making biscuits.
Never roll the dough. Always shape the biscuits with your hands. Make sure you chill the shaped biscuits before putting them in the oven to be baked. This will help create fluffy, airy biscuits that will retain their shape.
If you plan to serve these at your next dinner party, you want to make sure you get the presentation right. The only way to do so is to adhere to the tips above. It will ensure that you are able to shape your bread into nicely sized biscuits.

Again, you can substitute all sorts of traditional toppings that you may not like. Even the jalapenos are optional. It is possible to put on another herb or spice of your choice. If you do not care for olive oil, you can use a different type of oil—one with a texture that is more to your liking.
Changing toppings is certainly understandable. Some people just like the texture of cheesy bread but do not care for some of the traditional toppings. The most important thing is to bake the bread so that it has a crusty finish. This will yield the most taste regardless of the specific toppings you put on it.
If you want to make this bread for yourself rather than a house full of guests, you can cut the quantities of the ingredients in the recipe by half. You can also use vegan cheddar instead of regular cheddar for a topping.
19. For Those Who Like Cauliflower on Their Cheddar Bread.
In my view, cauliflower is one of the most underestimated condiments. It goes well with a variety of foods, including this one. A few tips for making this dish a complete success. If you are planning a big party in the coming days, this is the kind of appetizer that you should consider making. It will certainly have an impression on your guests. Cauliflower, when added to dishes like this, has a distinct taste. It will complement the cheese well and leave all your visitors with a smile on their face.
You should use cauliflower that is highly fine. You want the cheddar and jalapenos to dominate the taste of your bread, not the cauliflower. For a paleo version of this dish, use paleo-friendly baking powder. If you want a dairy-free version of it, leave out the cheese. If you want a vegetarian version, leave out the bacon.
20. And Finally, for Those on a Keto Diet.
