Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix until the herbs and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with soups, stews, or as a standalone treat!
