Cheddar Garlic Bread Recipe by Leah

I love bread and cheese!  It’s a little embarrassing to admit but I could eat it at every meal.  It certainly wouldn’t be the healthiest choice but I’ve definitely been tempted.  This bread is lovely because it comes together quickly and has a fantastic cheesy, garlicky flavor.

Cheddar Garlic Bread

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

2 Tbsp sugar

2 1/2 cups grated extra sharp cheddar cheese, divided

12 oz ginger ale

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 1/4-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and sugar.  Mix in  2 1/4 cups cheese.  Add ginger ale and mix well.
3. Spoon into the bread pan.  Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Let bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting the bread to cool on a wire rack.
