SWAPS
Its inevitable that someone will ask if you can use regular milk instead of buttermilk. I am sure you can, but it WILL change the fat content of the bread. Buttermilk is high in fat and gives a different texture than regular milk.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
Since this bread is a quick bread and doesn’t use yeast, it really comes together quickly. We love quick breads for the exact reason.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
In a large bowl combine flour, cheese, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper. In a smaller bowl beat eggs, melted butter and buttermilk together with a whisk. Add to flour mixture and mix with a spoon just enough to wet all the ingredients.
Step 2
Pour mixture into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan that has just the bottom of the pan sprayed or greased. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan. Store in refrigerator.
⭐TIP
Optional ingredients: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes. This adds a little more flavor! This is a versatile bread and you can add what you like to make it more your taste.
This bread goes great with a spring salad for a big bowl of chili or potato soup. It’s very versatile and a recipe you can enjoy year round. It’s super easy to make and wonderful right out of the oven. You can always switch out the cheddar cheese for asiago, mozzarella or any your family loves.
