Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (6g) chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • 5 tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (190g) shredded asiago or parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup (50g) chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (177C) and lightly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together the cold buttermilk and eggs until well combined.
  3. Mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and the chopped herbs in a separate bowl.
  4. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Combine the shredded cheese and the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, if using. Then add the wet ingredients to the cheese mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, brush the top with melted butter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your butter is cold to create a flakier texture. This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
