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
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. This creates the base for your cheesy bread batter.
  2. Add the cheese and wet ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, egg, milk, and melted butter to the dry mixture. Mix until just combined to form a thick batter.
  3. Prepare the pan and bake: Grease or spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  4. Make the topping: While the bread bakes, combine garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, and melted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until the butter is fully melted, then stir to mix the seasonings evenly.
  5. Apply topping and cool: Once the bread is removed from the oven, immediately pour the butter topping evenly over the hot bread so it soaks in. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, shred your own cheddar cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese.
  • You can substitute sea salt for table salt if preferred.
  • Use whole milk or 2% milk for a richer texture; skim milk may make the bread less tender.
  • Make sure to apply the melted butter topping while the bread is still hot so it absorbs properly.
  • This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a savory snack on its own.
