Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and chilli flakes until well combined.
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the whole milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to 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 is perfect on its own or with a slather of butter!
