Cheddar bread

Cheddar bread....a good companion to a soup that may be a bit sparse on the protein.  

2cups regular flour 

1 T plus 1 tsp baking powder

1T sugar 

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp italian seasoning 

1/4 tsp dry mustard

4 ounces of cheddar cheese, shredded 

1 egg, beaten 

1 cup milk 

1T melted butter.   

Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

Mix wet ingredients together in a separate bowl. Using a two cup glass measure saves dishes.   

Fold wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. 

Fold in cheese.   Cheese will 'float' better if you pull a tablespoon or so of the flour and mix with the shredded cheese.   

Pour into greased 8 X4 loaf pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until it tests done.   A cake tester comes out clean or until the bread is 200 degrees when tested with the gun thermometer.  The top of the bread should spring back when touched lightly.
