Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder until evenly combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese to distribute it throughout the dry mix.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, beaten egg, melted unsalted butter, and honey if using, until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy to avoid overmixing.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle extra shredded cheddar on top for a golden crust.
  6. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cooling: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool further before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; this keeps your bread tender with a nice crumb.
  • Garlic powder is optional but adds a subtle savory depth.
  • Using sharp cheddar cheese enhances the flavor intensity.
  • Honey is optional for a mild sweetness that balances the cheddar.
  • Ensure the loaf pan is adequately greased to prevent sticking.
  • Letting the bread cool briefly makes slicing easier and cleaner.
