Heavenly Cheesy Quick Bread
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Baking powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Baking soda | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Sugar | 1 teaspoon |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Buttermilk | 1 cup |
| Melted butter | 1/4 cup |
| Large eggs | 2 |
| Garlic powder (optional) | 1 teaspoon |
| Dried herbs (optional) | 1 teaspoon (rosemary or thyme) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
-
Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and garlic powder (if using).
-
Incorporate the Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay. If using dried herbs, gently fold them in now.
-
Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy this Cheesy Quick Bread warm or at room temperature.
