Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and optional honey until smooth.
  5. Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  6. Fill Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.
  9. Serve and Store: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep fresh, and reheat slices in a toaster or oven when desired.

Notes

  • Try different cheese varieties such as gouda, mozzarella, or pepper jack for a unique twist.
  • Do not overmix the batter; it should be lumpy to maintain a soft texture.
  • Optional garlic powder adds a subtle savory note but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
  • Honey provides a slight sweetness balancing the cheddar; omit for a fully savory bread.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and rise.
  • Ensure the loaf pan is adequately greased or lined to avoid sticking.
