# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
250 grams all-purpose flour
02 -
15 grams baking powder
03 -
2 grams baking soda
04 -
3 grams salt
05 -
2 grams garlic powder
06 -
2 grams dried oregano
07 -
2 grams dried thyme
→ Cheese
08 -
120 grams shredded cheddar cheese
09 -
60 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
10 -
50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
→ Wet Ingredients
11 -
300 milliliters buttermilk
12 -
60 grams unsalted butter, melted
13 -
2 large eggs
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme until thoroughly blended.
03 -
Incorporate shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan into the flour mixture. Toss gently to ensure cheeses are evenly distributed and coated with flour, minimizing clumping.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), and eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
05 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing to preserve a tender crumb.
06 -
Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly and smooth the top for even baking.
07 -
Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean without wet batter.
08 -
Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures optimal texture and flavor development.
09 -
Once fully cooled, slice and serve warm or at room temperature as a side, snack, or accompaniment.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For extra heat, incorporate chopped jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes with the dry ingredients.
02 -
Whole wheat flour may be substituted for part of the all-purpose flour for a heartier loaf.
03 -
If the crust darkens too rapidly, tent the top loosely with foil in the final 10 minutes of baking.
04 -
Slices may be gently reheated in a toaster oven or microwave for optimal freshness.
