Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 granulated sugar.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped dill, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, melted butter, egg, and whole milk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently combine them. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Tomato Cheddar Dill Bread as a snack, or pair it with soups and salads!
