Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a standard loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder or fresh herbs.
- Add the cubed cold butter into the flour mixture and cut it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the milk or buttermilk and stir gently until just combined.
- Transfer the dough into your prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Be sure to use cold butter for a flaky texture and don't overmix the dough.
