Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for topping)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly coated with the flour mixture to prevent clumping and distribute cheesy flavor throughout the loaf.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and large egg until smooth and homogenous for a moist batter.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and light.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
- Butter the Top: Immediately after removing from the oven, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter to enhance flavor and add a golden, glossy finish.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuit loaf to cool slightly in the pan, then slice and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense, tough bread.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor impact.
- Brushing the top with butter immediately after baking keeps the crust soft and flavorful.
- This loaf pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, or as a snack with dips.
- If buttermilk is unavailable, you can substitute with 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, let sit 5 minutes.
