Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Caraway seeds
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pieces Eggs (large)
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and caraway seeds until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then mix in the melted butter, milk, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this could make the loaf dense.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top 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 comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This loaf pairs well with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack.
