Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for topping)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.
- Incorporate Cheese: Fold the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the dry mixture, making sure the cheese is evenly coated with the flour mixture to prevent clumping.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and the large egg until smooth and combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Butter the Top: Immediately after removing from the oven, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter for a glossy, flavorful finish.
- Cool and Serve: Let the biscuit loaf cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for optimal flavor; mild cheddar will yield a less intense cheese taste.
- You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar if buttermilk is unavailable.
- For extra garlic flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder on top before baking.
- Store leftover bread wrapped in foil or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
