Cheese Bread Recipe

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
Incorporate the cheeses: Add the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the dry mixture, tossing them gently so they are evenly coated with flour, which helps prevent clumping.
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth, ensuring the butter has cooled slightly to prevent cooking the eggs.
Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Transfer to the loaf pan: Spread the batter evenly into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top to ensure even baking.
Bake the bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with no wet batter.
Cool before slicing: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the flavors to settle and the texture to firm up.
Serve and enjoy: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, snack, or accompaniment to your favorite meal.
