Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, and melted unsalted butter until well combined.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If desired, stir in the dried parsley and garlic powder for added flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread is excellent on its own or with a spread of butter.
