Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 Green chiles (diced, seeds removed for less heat)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small chunks and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the buttermilk until combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped cilantro, diced green chiles, and shredded cheese until they are evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your flavorful Cilantro Chile Bread!
