Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Cold Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cayenne.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in cheddar cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Spoon dough into pan in dollops/layers (don’t smooth it flat).
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- While warm, brush top with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley.
- Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for best flavor and melt.
- Don’t overmix the dough—it should be lumpy and sticky.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle cheddar between dough layers.
- Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Store leftovers at room temperature or refrigerate up to 4 days.
