Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

If using, fold in the chopped parsley for added freshness and flavor.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or paired with soup or salad!
