Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
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 mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Whisk until well combined.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly coated with the flour mixture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and the egg until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper.
- Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice with a serrated knife once cooled for at least 20 minutes.
- 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.
Notes
- You can customize the type of cheese and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
- For a more indulgent version, add cooked and crumbled bacon to the batter.
