Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Topping
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir to combine evenly.
- Add Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese into the dry mixture. Toss gently to coat the cheese with the flour mixture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and softened butter until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir just until the mixture is combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer to Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure it’s even.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the loaf is baking, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl.
- Brush Loaf: When the loaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the top with the garlic butter mixture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing it. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender crumb.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
- The garlic butter topping adds a delicious finishing touch—don’t skip it.
- If you prefer, you can substitute buttermilk with milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil or plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 days.
