Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan. Line with parchment paper if desired.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Stir in the cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
5. Pour batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. While warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
8. Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter – it’s the secret to keeping the loaf light and fluffy.
Sharp cheddar gives the most flavor, but you can experiment with your favorite cheese blends.
For extra richness, brush the top with garlic butter before serving.
