Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
3. Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
5. Add the buttermilk and mix just until combined; do not overmix.
6. Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While warm, brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
9. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top if desired.
10. Let cool 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For the best texture, use freshly shredded cheddar instead of pre-shredded.
Do not skip the garlic butter topping—it brings everything together.
If you want a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dry mix.
