Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 medium Jalapeños (seeded and finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, and parsley (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out with a spatula to create an even surface.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
