Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
• Extra rosemary sprigs for garnish

How to Make Cheesy Herb Bread

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped rosemary to the dry ingredients, stirring until evenly distributed.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and olive oil. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Garnish with extra rosemary sprigs before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to measure your flour correctly for the best texture—spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
• Allow the loaf to cool before slicing to maintain its structure.
• For an extra cheesy flavor, mix different types of cheese into the batter.

Easy Variations

• Substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as gouda or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
• Add cooked and crumbled bacon or diced jalapeños for an extra kick.
• Experiment with different herbs like thyme or oregano to customize the flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A warm bowl of tomato soup for dipping.
• A fresh garden salad with vinaigrette.
• Charcuterie board items like olives and cured meats.
• Your favorite dipping sauces like marinara or garlic aioli.
