how to make Cheese Bread

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
  3. Add the cheeses: Stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
  4. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Prepare the loaf: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  8. Cool the bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve: Once cooled, slice the bread and serve it warm or at room temperature.

how to serve Cheese Bread

tips to make Cheese Bread

FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but it might make the bread denser. Mixing half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour is a good compromise.

2. How do I know when the bread is done baking?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the bread is done. If it comes out wet, it needs more time in the oven.

3. Can I make this bread gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour. Just make sure the baking powder is also gluten-free.
