Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar (optional – enhances flavor balance)
– Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon sugar (if using)
3. Add the cheese
Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, making sure it’s well-coated with the flour mixture.
(This helps distribute the cheese evenly and prevents it from sinking.)
4. Combine the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
5. Mix wet and dry ingredients
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Stir just until combined — don’t overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
6. Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and enjoy
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
