Say hello to your new favorite savory delight: Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bread! This cheesy, garlicky goodness is perfect for sharing (or not, we won’t judge). A quick mix and bake, it’s the ultimate comfort food. Ready to dive into this deliciousness?
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Then, add 1 cup of milk, 1 beaten egg, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the bread is baking, mix together the topping ingredients: 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley.
Once the bread is out of the oven, brush the garlic butter topping generously over the hot bread, allowing it to soak in.
Let the bread cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
For longer storage, you can freeze the bread. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra flavor boost.
This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, or can be enjoyed on its own as a savory snack.
