Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy lifting.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and well-blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be lumpy, and that's okay.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups or as a snack on its own.
