Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder optional
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder optional
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Herbs
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sieve together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and herbs. Add sugar and give a mix.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, and yogurt until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake on the center rack for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice with a serrated knife and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheddar for better melt and flavor. You may also substitute a portion of the cheddar with parmesan or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
  • Want to skip yogurt? Replace it with 1 large egg for a slightly different texture—still soft and delicious.
  • Add dried herbs, chili flakes, or garlic powder to enhance the savory flavor.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
  • Store in the fridge wrapped in foil or in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezes well! Wrap in plastic and store for up to 2 months.
