Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix until the herbs and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread 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 about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with soups, stews, or as a standalone treat!
