Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Green onions (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming tough.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Buttermilk Cheese Bread on its own, or pair it with soups, spreads, or salads. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
