Description

A flavorful and moist savory bread loaf packed with sharp cheddar cheese and aromatic herbs, perfect as a side dish, for sandwiches, or simply as a snack. This easy-to-make bread combines classic baking ingredients with a burst of herbaceous flavor, ideal for any meal.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or Italian blend)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while preparing the batter. This ensures it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the bread evenly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, dried herbs, and shredded cheese to evenly distribute all dry components and herbs throughout the mixture.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, oil, and egg until smoothly blended, which will contribute to the bread’s tenderness and moisture.
  4. Mix wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the bread tender and light.
  5. Prepare for baking: Grease or line a loaf pan, then pour in the batter evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  7. Cool before slicing: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents it from becoming soggy and helps maintain structure.

Notes

  • Use cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan cheese to vary the flavor.
