Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Onion (finely diced, caramelized)
- 2 tbsp Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until golden and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
Cut the cold, diced butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and one egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Beat the remaining egg and brush it lightly over the top of the bread for a golden brown crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Easy Cheese and Onion Bread as a standalone snack or paired with soup or salad!
