Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
-
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
1 1/4 cups milk (any kind you prefer)
-
1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
-
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and toss it lightly with the flour mixture to coat.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt (or sour cream), melted butter, and egg until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
-
For extra cheesiness, sprinkle more cheddar on top before baking.
-
You can mix in herbs like chives or parsley for a fresh flavor boost.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
-
This bread also freezes well—slice before freezing for easy reheating.
