Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and herbs.
  3. Add the cheeses: Stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese until they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs together thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
  5. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.
  6. Prepare for baking: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly for uniform baking.
  7. Bake the bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Cool the bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or until warm enough to handle.
  9. Serve: Slice the bread and serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious snack or accompaniment to your meal.

Notes

  • For a crustier top, bake an additional 5 minutes or broil briefly but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
  • Add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or chives for an extra flavor boost.
  • The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
