Why You’ll Love This Bread

• Easy Prep: No rolling or cutting required—just mix, pour, and bake.
• Flavor Packed: Loaded with cheddar cheese, garlic, and herbs.
• Versatile: Great as a side dish or as the star of the table.

Ingredients Needed

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh minced parsley
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter

How to Make Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
3. Add the cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar.
4. Combine wet ingredients: Add the milk and ¼ cup of the melted butter. Mix until combined but don't overmix.
5. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Add the garlic butter topping: Mix the remaining melted butter with parsley and garlic powder. Brush over the top of the bread while it’s still warm.
7. Cool & serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing.

Tips for Success

• Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melt and flavor.
• Don’t skip the buttery topping—it’s what gives this bread that signature Cheddar Bay flavor.
• For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the dry ingredients.
