Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix the batter. A few lumps are fine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
- If you prefer a slightly crispier crust, brush the top of the loaf with a little extra melted butter halfway through baking.
- This bread is best eaten the day it is baked, but you can store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to two days.
