Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup buttermilk
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until combined.
3. Add Cheese
   Fold in shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly coated in the flour mixture to prevent sinking.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
5. Mix Together
   Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Small lumps are fine—do not overmix.
6. Bake the Loaf
   Transfer batter to prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Finish with Butter
   Brush the warm loaf with melted butter immediately after baking for a glossy, flavorful finish.
8. Cool & Serve
   Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
