Ingredients

Scale

Bread Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt or sea salt
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (preferably freshly shredded)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing evenly. Then add the egg, milk, and melted butter, stirring gently until a thick batter forms.
  2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease or spray a 9 x 5-inch bread pan to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared batter into the pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  3. Bake the Bread: Place the bread pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. The top should be nicely browned.
  4. Make the Topping: While the bread is baking, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave if needed until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is well blended.
  5. Apply the Topping and Cool: As soon as the bread comes out of the oven and is still hot, pour the prepared topping evenly over the top. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool further or serve warm.

Notes

  • For best flavor, shred your own cheddar cheese rather than using pre-shredded varieties.
  • Use fresh parsley flakes for the topping to enhance herbaceous flavor.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
  • This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, chili, or a fresh salad.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
