Step-by-Step Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Preheat the Oven<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) . Grease a loaf pan (8\u00d74 inches) or line it with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stir in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs until evenly distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and minced garlic (if using).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Form the Dough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix\u2014the batter will be thick and lumpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Assemble and Bake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 35\u201340 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Cool and Serve<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5\u201310 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush the top with melted butter for extra richness and garnish with fresh herbs or flaky sea salt if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slice and serve warm with butter, soup, or salad\u2014or enjoy it straight out of the oven!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
