Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the butter is incorporated and the mixture is crumbly.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy but evenly moistened.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Remove the pans from the oven and let the loaves cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cheddar loaves warm or at room temperature. They pair well with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack!
