Here’s a simple Cheddar Bread Loaf recipe—soft, cheesy, and perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a snack on its own. It’s easy to make at home with basic ingredients.
Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
- 1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small amount for topping.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil (or melted butter), and eggs.
- Combine
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Bake
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar on top.
- Bake 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve
- Let the loaf cool 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like chives or parsley.
- You can mix in bacon bits, jalapeños, or sun-dried tomatoes for a fun twist.
- Serve warm with butter for a melty, cheesy experience.
