Golden Cheddar Quick Bread: Savory, Soft, and Ready in Minutes

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.

Stir in the shredded cheddar until evenly coated.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and honey (if using).

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — don’t overmix.

Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
