Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder (if using).
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with soups, salads, or enjoy as is!
