Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries to the dry mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the mix-ins.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until 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, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve at room temperature. This bread is delicious on its own or paired with butter or cream cheese!
