Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your oven is ready to bake your delicious cheese bread to perfection.
-
Prepare loaf pan: Grease the bottom of a 9×5-inch loaf pan, ensuring that your bread won’t stick. Set the pan aside as you prepare the batter.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated sharp cheddar cheese, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and fresh coarse ground black pepper. Stir the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
-
Combine wet ingredients: In another small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and lightly beaten eggs until well combined. This mixture adds moisture and richness to your cheese bread.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix everything together until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough texture in your bread.
-
Add peppers: Gently fold in the diced red and green bell peppers into the batter. These peppers not only add flavor but also contribute to the beautiful color and texture of the bread.
-
Bake: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan on a cookie sheet or another flat pan to catch any potential drips. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes on a wire rack. This resting period allows the bread to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
-
Serve: After cooling, carefully remove the bread from the loaf pan. Serve slices of this delightful cheese bread warm or at room temperature, alongside your favorite spreads or as a standalone snack.
-
Storage: Store any leftover portions of the cheese bread in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped to maintain freshness. Enjoy the deliciousness of this bread for days to come!
