Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or spray a standard loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Combine & Mix:
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix to avoid a dense loaf.
Bake:
Spoon or pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve:
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
Remove and transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use sharp or extra-sharp cheddar for more flavor.
Add chopped chives, cooked bacon, or jalapeños for a twist.
Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Reheat slices in a toaster oven for the best texture.
