Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, mixing to coat the cheese with flour mixture.
- Add milk and vegetable oil to the bowl. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter.
- Transfer the dough to the skillet, spreading it evenly to about 1-inch thick.
- Cover skillet with a lid. Cook on low heat for 10–12 minutes, until the bottom is golden and set.
- Carefully flip the bread and add remaining butter to the pan. Cook covered for another 8–10 minutes.
- When both sides are golden and cooked through, transfer to a plate.
- Let cool slightly. Garnish with parsley if desired, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Cheese Bread comes together quickly using pantry staples. Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavors; non-dairy cheese works for a vegan option. Store cooled slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove. If dough sticks, use more oil/butter and a non-stick pan. Ensure low heat to avoid burning the crust.
