  • Yield

    Makes 24 bars

Ingredients

Butter for greasing pan
About 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 pound finely grated Gruyère (1 1/2 cups)

Special Equipment

a 13- by 9-inch baking pan (2 inches deep)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter bottom and sides of baking pan, then sprinkle with bread crumbs, knocking out excess.

    Step 2

    Whisk together flour and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk together eggs, oil, and milk in a large bowl, then stir in cheeses. Add flour mixture, stirring until incorporated (dough will be stiff).

    Step 3

    Press dough evenly into pan, then smooth top with a spatula. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes, turn bread onto a cutting board, then turn right side up. Cut into 24 bars (3 by 1 1/2 inches) and serve warm or at room temperature.
