Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup milk (about 240 ml)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (60 ml)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan (about 8×4 inches).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk briefly to aerate and distribute the leavening evenly.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese until evenly distributed through the flour mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 egg until smooth and combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
For a spicy kick, fold in diced jalapeños. This bread freezes well for up to 2–3 months.
