Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ranch seasoning mix until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the bread tough.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it 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. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack!
