Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and eliminate any lumps.
- Add the shredded cheese and chopped onions to the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a fork to coat the cheese and onions with flour, which helps prevent them from sinking during baking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vegetable oil until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to ensure uniform baking.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of the batter for extra cheesy crust.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve warm as a side dish or snack. The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
- For extra flavor, consider using sharp cheddar or a blend of cheeses.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh to help the bread rise properly.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing to help it maintain its structure.
- For a golden, crispy top, brush the bread with melted butter right after baking.
- Experiment with adding herbs like chives or thyme for additional depth of flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
