Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder (if using).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with soups, salads, or enjoy as is!
