Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated parmesan cheese, crumbled blue cheese, baking powder, baking soda, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Prepare Wet Mixture: In another bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then, add buttermilk, oil, and tomato paste. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and crusty.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
-
Serve: After cooling slightly, carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
