Cheddar Bay Bread
Cheddar Bay Bread is a delicious, cheesy, buttery bread inspired by the famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup milk
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or sour cream
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing on top)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing on top)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil the inside of a round Pyrex casserole dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder and salt.
- Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until it’s coated with the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream (or melted butter) and egg until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together using a spoon or silicon spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared Pyrex dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown and a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the loaf is baking, mix together the melted butter with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for the topping.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and immediately brush the top with the garlic butter mixture.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Notes
We like to sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese over the top of the loaf about five minutes before the end of baking time.
