How to Make Cheese Bread
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme.
Step 3: Add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the flour mixture. Stir until the cheese is well coated with the dry ingredients.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix!
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Step 7: Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 8: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
