Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Green onions (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using) until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
