cheese bread recipe

 

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.

3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg.

4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

5. Fold in cheese: Gently fold in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs (if using).

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your homemade cheese bread warm or toasted with butter!
