Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon dried parsley
1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1 cup buttermilk, cold
0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and parsley.
3. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese, coating it lightly with the dry mix.
4. In another bowl, whisk together cold buttermilk, melted butter, and egg.
5. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold until just combined—don’t overmix.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. While still warm, mix garlic butter topping ingredients and brush over the loaf.
9. Let it rest in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Always shred your own cheese for the best melt and flavor.
Let the loaf rest before slicing to avoid a gooey or unstable texture.
Use cold ingredients for a fluffier, biscuit-like crumb.
