Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, beaten egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.
Step 2: Bake the Bread
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Pair with soups, salads, or grilled meats for a delicious meal.
