Savory Herb and Cheese Biscuit Loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and sugar until evenly blended.
Step 3: Cut In the Butter
Add the cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Herbs
Mix in the cheddar and fresh herbs, ensuring they’re spread evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Add the Milk
Create a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir gently until everything comes together—the batter will be thick.
Step 6: Bake the Loaf
Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the loaf is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely, then slice and serve warm.
