Making Cheese Coin Bread: A Crispy, Cheesy Sensation
What is Korean Coin Bread?
Korean coin bread (also called "Cheese Coin Bread") is a popular snack in South Korea, known for its crispy, golden crust and soft, cheesy interior. It is called "coin bread" because of its small, round shape, resembling coins. This bread is often served as a street food item or a homemade snack, enjoyed with tea, coffee, or even as a side dish for soups and stews.
The main appeal of Korean cheese coin bread lies in its rich, buttery flavor and the delightful contrast between its crisp exterior and gooey, melted cheese center. Unlike traditional bread, which relies on yeast for rising, this bread is more like a biscuit or scone, using baking powder to create a slightly airy texture. The dough is rolled out, cut into small round shapes, and then baked until golden brown. Some variations include additional seasonings like garlic, paprika, or even a hint of sweetness for a unique flavor twist.
In Korea, this bread is commonly found in bakeries and street food markets, often paired with other cheesy delights like cheese tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) or Korean-style cheese toast. It is a favorite among both children and adults due to its simple ingredients, easy preparation, and delicious taste. The combination of warm, melted cheese and the crispy, buttery dough makes it an irresistible snack for any time of the day.
For those who love cheese, cheese coin bread is a must-try! Whether you serve it as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish, its comforting flavor and satisfying crunch will keep you coming back for more.
