Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour A staple for creating the bread's light and fluffy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder This helps the bread rise, giving it that perfect airy feel.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing the flavors in your dish.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk Incorporates moisture into the batter, resulting in a tender crumb.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Infuses the bread with a rich, savory flavor and helps achieve a golden crust.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients together, contributing to the bread's structure.
Cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.) Adds creaminess and richness, melting beautifully as it bakes.

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure that your Easy Cheese Bread starts cooking evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to remove lumps.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese to ensure it’s evenly distributed within the flour mixture.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until creamy and smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Take care not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Baking
