Ingredients

Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking power
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk room temperature, plain milk can be substituted
1 large egg room temperature
2 tablespoons butter melted

Topping

1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350°F.
Prepare a 9 X 5 loaf pan by coating with baking spray or lightly greasing.
Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the cheddar cheese and mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
Place the batter into the prepared loaf pan, place it into the preheated oven, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife or skewer placed into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and mix with 1 teaspoon of dry parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and brush over the hot bread.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Store leftover bread by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap or foil.
1/4 cup of crumbled bacon and 1 to 2 sliced green onions can be added for even more flavor.
