Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 piece Egg, large
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center 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.
If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
