This Easy Cheddar Bread recipe is perfect for those who want to enjoy homemade bread without the hassle. It’s incredibly moist and bursting with cheesy goodness, making it a delightful treat for any occasion. Even if you’ve never made bread before, this recipe will make you feel like a baking pro!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture is well-combined and crumbly.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until slightly beaten.
-
Combine ingredients: Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Add cheese: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
