Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons assorted fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley), chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • ¼ cup melted butter or olive oil
  • 1 to 1¼ cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk (or buttermilk) and melted butter or olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Bring the Batter Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold to combine without overmixing to maintain tenderness. Fold in the shredded cheese last, evenly distributing it throughout the batter.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the bread becomes golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it onto a wire rack. Slice warm or at room temperature and enjoy the cheesy, herbaceous, and garlicky flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense, tough loaf.
  • Choose cheeses that melt well for gooey pockets of flavor.
  • Check the bread starting at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking as oven times may vary.
  • For an extra flavorful crust, sprinkle cheese and herbs on top before baking.
