Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
For Garlic Butter Topping:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Cut in Cold Butter
- Add cold butter cubes to dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cheese
- Stir shredded cheddar cheese into the flour mixture. Mix gently to distribute cheese evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a small bowl, whisk milk and egg together until fully blended and smooth.
Form the Dough
- Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
Transfer to Pan
- Spoon dough into prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top lightly with a spatula for even baking.
Bake the Loaf
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown. Insert toothpick in center; it should come out clean.
Prepare Garlic Butter
- While loaf bakes, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in garlic powder and chopped parsley.
Brush with Garlic Butter
- Remove loaf from oven. Immediately brush warm garlic butter generously over the top for flavor.
- Cool and Slice
- Let loaf cool 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
- Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
- Replace cheddar with Monterey Jack for a milder taste.
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a cheesy crust.
- For extra softness, add one tablespoon sour cream to the dough.
