Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional garlic powder or herbs you wish to add for extra flavor.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the flour-butter mixture, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk or buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the loaf dense. The dough will be somewhat sticky.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly. Slice and serve warm for the best cheesy, fluffy texture.

Notes

Add 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives for extra flavor.
For a spicy twist, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Try using mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different cheesy flavor. You can also mix in some grated Parmesan for an added cheesy depth.
Brush the top of the loaf with melted garlic butter right before baking for a garlic bread-style cheesy loaf.
