Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)

  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided: 1¼ cups in the batter, ¼ cup for topping)

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional, adds a slight sweetness and moisture)

Directions

1. Preheat & prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.

3. Add cheese:
Stir in 1¼ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s well coated in the flour mixture. This helps it distribute evenly without sinking.

4. Combine wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and honey until smooth.

5. Combine everything:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix — the batter will be thick.

6. Transfer to pan:
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheese on top.

7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

8. Cool & serve:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
