Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Cooked crispy bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Dice the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped chives, reserving a small amount of each for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved bacon, cheeses, and chives on top of the batter for a visually appealing finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
