INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:

ALMOND FLOUR:

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• We utilize sharp cheddar cheese for its rich, cheesy flavor. You might utilize mozzarella or Monterey Jack as a further choice.

JALAPEÑOS:

• Use fresh jalapeños to add a spicy kick and anti-inflammatory benefits. You can replace them with serrano peppers or poblano peppers.

GREEK YOGURT:

• We use plain Greek yogurt to keep the bread moist and soft. Dairy-free plain yogurt can be used instead.

TURMERIC:

• We choose turmeric for its natural anti-inflammatory qualities and warm, earthy flavor. Another option is to add curry powder.

GROUND GINGER:

• Use ground ginger to provide mild warmth and anti-inflammatory properties. Utilize fresh grated ginger as another choice.

Use fresh parsley to add freshness and color. We could utilize cilantro or fresh chives as a further option.
