  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Can swap for Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Gruyère.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Combine 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar with 1 cup milk if you're out.
  • 1/2 cup Butter You can grate frozen butter directly into the mix.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley Can experiment with chives or other herbs instead.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Mix Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. The dough should remain lumpy and sticky.
  4. Layer Cheese: Transfer half of the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle a layer of extra cheese and parsley, then add the remaining dough.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
