Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped green onion

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x4x2 inch loaf pan and set aside.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, cracked black pepper, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well mixed.

3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain yogurt, milk, oil, and spicy brown mustard until smooth.

4. Combine Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onion to the mixture.

5. Mix Batter: Gently stir the ingredients together until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

6. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

9. Serve: After cooling slightly, remove the bread from the pan and slice it. This Cracked Black Pepper Cheese Bread is best served warm.

Serving Suggestions:
