**Easy Cheese Bread**
**Ingredients:**
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 1/4 cups milk
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1 large egg
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a little butter or oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine and coat the cheese with the flour mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and egg until well combined.
5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be lumpy, but that’s okay for a tender texture.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the cheese bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
9. Carefully take the loaf out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread set properly and make for cleaner slices.
10. Serve your Easy Cheese Bread warm with a pat of butter or as a side to soups, salads, or enjoy it on its own as a tasty snack.
