How to Make Cheesy Quick Bread
Cheesy quick bread is an easy-to-make snack or side dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or whenever you're craving something cheesy. With just a few ingredients and less than an hour, you can have this delicious bread ready to enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, and vegetable oil.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a light, fluffy bread.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Extra Flavor:
- For an extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of the batter before baking.
- Customize your bread by adding chopped fresh herbs, cubed ham, or chopped jalapeños to the batter.
- This bread is best enjoyed warm, but it can be stored at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Enjoy your homemade cheesy quick bread as a snack, a side dish, or even for breakfast!
