Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Add Cheese: Mix in the shredded cheese to the dry ingredients, ensuring it’s well incorporated for a cheesy flavor throughout the bread.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and melted butter until fully combined and smooth.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into it, smoothing the top slightly.
- Bake the Bread: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly to allow it to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheesy flavor or mix cheeses like mozzarella and parmesan for different textures.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf.
- Let the bread cool before slicing to ensure cleaner cuts and better texture.
- You can add herbs such as rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Serve warm with butter, soups, or salads.
