Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, for topping
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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt until combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly dispersed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
As the bread bakes, prepare the garlic butter topping by combining the melted butter, dried parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Once the loaf is finished baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of the bread.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool further.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy the cheesy, buttery goodness that mimics the classic Red Lobster biscuits in loaf form!
