Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional, for flavor
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line your baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Whisk until evenly mixed.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir gently until you have a thick, cohesive batter.
- Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serving
- Enjoy the cheese bread warm, and consider pairing it with dips like marinara or garlic butter.
Notes
Store leftover cheese bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze wrapped tightly in plastic and foil for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
