A savory, no-yeast cheese bread with visible herb flecks and a tender crumb, perfect for serving with soups or as an appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or rosemary)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh herbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and vegetable oil.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a denser crumb, you can reduce the baking powder slightly.
  • Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • This bread is excellent served with soups, stews, or as part of a cheese board.
  • For party appetizer bread, slice thinly and serve with a dollop of sour cream or a spread.
