- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 45‑50 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 8 slices 1x
Ingredients
2 cups all‑purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra savoury depth)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (freshly grated recommended)
1 cup milk
1 large egg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp honey (optional – adds a subtle hint of sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9×5‑inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder if using.
Stir in the shredded cheddar so it’s evenly distributed in the dry mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg and melted butter (and honey, if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—don’t overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Bake for about 45‑50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top is golden.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for ~10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool a little more. Slice and serve warm or at room temperatur
