Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan (9x5 inches)
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 Mixing Bowl (Large)
  • 1 Spoon or spatula
  • 1 Cheese Grater
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Gluten-Free Flour Blend with xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder optional

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Buttermilk or dairy-free alternative
  • ¼ cup Melted Butter or olive oil

Add-ins:

  • 1 ½ cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • ¼ cup Fresh Chives chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until fully combined.
  • Combine: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter just comes together.
    Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add cheese and chives: Gently fold in the cheddar cheese and chives until evenly distributed.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
    Allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze slices for up to 3 months.
  • Cheese Substitutes: You can experiment with other cheeses like Gouda, Monterey Jack, or Parmesan if you prefer.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk and a dairy-free cheese for a dairy-free version of this bread.
  • Egg Substitute: If you need an egg-free version, use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water per egg).
