Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 12 ounces beer (light or amber-style works best)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to coat the cheese evenly.
Pour in the beer and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Pour the melted butter over the top of the batter, ensuring it evenly coats the surface. This will create a golden, crispy crust as it bakes.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center 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 slightly.
Slice and serve warm, or let it cool completely for easier slicing. Enjoy!
