Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like oregano or thyme, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese until coated with the flour mixture.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and egg until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, or line with parchment paper.
- Add Batter: Transfer batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool and Slice: Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice with a serrated knife.
- Serve: Enjoy the bread on its own or with butter, garlic spread, or marinara sauce.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
