Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
• 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit Large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Stir in the fresh parsley, rosemary, and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese and herbs are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
