Instructions:
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread as a delicious side to soups, salads, or enjoy it on its own. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Grate the cheddar cheese finely to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the bread.
- Chop the chives finely for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- You can add a pinch of garlic powder for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use a toothpick to check if the bread is fully baked. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
