Equipment

  • KitchenAid Stand Mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 3-½ cups All Purpose flour
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 3 tablespoon Butter softened
  • ¾ cups Sharp cheddar coarsely shredded
  • 1-¾ cups Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using cooking spray, grease one 7x9 loaf pan.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Place all the dry ingredients in the bowl (flour, salt and baking soda). Mix with a paddle attachment for 20 seconds on speed 2 until incorporated. Add two tablespoons butter into the flour mixture. Mix on speed 2 for 30 seconds to 1 minute until well incorporated (it should look like sand).
  • Add the cheese; and mix until just coated. Then add the buttermilk and mix until the bread starts to come together about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Pour batter into the loaf pan; smooth the top.
  • Cut a shallow cross across the top of the loaf. Thinly slice the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the butter in the cuts in each loaf. Bake until the top is browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes (depending on your oven).
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Then using a plate invert the bread to remove it from the pan. Slice the bread and serve.

Notes

  • Servings - This recipe yields about 10 slices for a 7x9 loaf pan.
  • Cheese - Love cheese? Feel free to add in an additional cup of cheese to the mixture for an extra cheesy bread.
  • Cooking Times - All ovens vary. Cooking times may vary because of this.
  • How to check bread is done - Use an Instant read thermometer, stick the probe into the bread. The bread internal temperature should read 200 degrees Fahrenheit. That is how you will know it is cooked through.
