Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil 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.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined (do not overmix).
Fold in the chopped spinach and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until 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 before slicing and serving.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Warm slices before serving, if desired.
