Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, but delicious!)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar is classic, but mix it up!)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
How to Make It
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Add Cheese
Stir in the shredded cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter or oil. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—don’t overmix!
Bake
Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Slice
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm, with melty cheese in every bite!
Flavor Variations
- Add chopped green onions or fresh herbs for an herby touch.
- Mix in cooked bacon bits for a smoky, savory upgrade.
- Try different cheeses—mozzarella, pepper jack, or Gruyère for a gourmet twist.
