Cheddar Cheese Quick Bread
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted)
1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and sour cream.
Mix the Batter:
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – avoid overmixing.
Assemble and Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
For extra flavor, add chopped chives or a dash of paprika to the batter.
Serve warm with a smear of butter for ultimate comfort!
