Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour For a heartier taste, try whole wheat flour instead.
1 tablespoon baking powder A must for that perfect rise; double-check its freshness!
1/2 teaspoon salt Feel free to switch to sea salt for a gourmet touch.

Wet Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Olive oil can be a healthier swap.
1 cup milk Buttermilk offers a delightful tang, if preferred.
1 large egg, beaten A flax egg works beautifully as a vegan option.

Add-ins

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Experiment with different varieties like feta or gouda for new twists.
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley), chopped Dried herbs can substitute, just remember to use less.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well!
In another bowl, beat together the melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir. Don’t over-mix; a few lumps are okay!
Fold in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs gently to ensure even distribution.
Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.

Baking

Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warm.
