- Let the loaf cool a little so it slices cleanly.

FAQs
Q: Can I use self-rising flour?
A: No. Use all-purpose flour and baking powder as listed. Self-rising flour already has leavening and salt, which changes the result.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes. Use plant milk and dairy-free cheese, and replace melted butter with oil or a non-dairy spread.
Q: My bread is dense. Why?
A: You may have overmixed the batter or your baking powder could be old. Mix gently and check that leavening is fresh.
Q: Can I bake this in muffins instead of a loaf?
A: Yes. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full and bake 15-20 minutes until a toothpick is clean.
