No-Knead Cheesy Bread 🧀🍞

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a loaf pan.
2. Mix the dry ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Add the cheese:
   Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well coated with flour.
4. Combine wet ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream (or yogurt), egg, and melted butter.
5. Make the batter:
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
6. Bake:
   Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Finish and serve:
   Brush the top with a little melted butter and sprinkle with chives or parsley, if desired. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm!

Pro Tips

• Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or a mix for a new flavor twist.
• Want a crispier crust? Bake in a cast iron skillet instead of a loaf pan.
• Add chopped cooked bacon, jalapeños, or sun-dried tomatoes to the batter for a savory upgrade.

This no-knead cheesy bread is everything we love about homemade bread—without the wait. It’s quick, cheesy, and perfectly soft inside with a golden crust. Serve it with a bowl of soup or just eat it on its own. Either way, it’s going to disappear fast!
