Golden Cheddar Garlic Quick Bread

Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or spray a standard loaf pan and set it aside.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the shredded cheddar until evenly distributed.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully blended.

Bring It Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix, as it can make the bread dense.

Bake: Spoon or pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top lightly. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing and serving.
