Quick & Easy Cheese Bread

Early in my marriage I had a lot more free time. I was a full time homemaker with few other responsibilities. I was able to take care of all of the house work very easily and it left my Fridays free. I would often spend the day baking and freezer cooking. My goal is to get organized enough to get back to this but for now that’s not something I have time for.

One of the things that we get a lot less often these days is homemade bread. I love fresh, warm homemade bread but it is very time consuming. Worth it when you can find the time but it has been awhile since I had that amount of time for baking.

Even with less time I still want to make delicious, real food and I like to include bread sometimes. My answer for this? Quick breads. Quick breads are breads leavened with leavening agents other than yeast. Some common quick breads are banana bread, pancakes, and biscuits.

The most popular quick bread in my house is cheese bread. What’s not to love, cheese and fresh bread! Two of my favorite things together in one dish, yum.

I love having fresh bread but rarely seem to find the time to make it. This quick cheese bread recipe sounds like the perfect answer!
 
Even when I can find more time to bake I will still make this bread. It’s truly delicious. It is also great for taking to a sick friend or having when you have guests over. It’s easy but fresh, homemade bread is always impressive and appreciated.
This bread can be made ahead and frozen but is best served warm. I like to stick it sliced with a bit of butter in the oven for just a few minutes to warm it up.
 
I use a glass bread pan for this bread, if you are using a dark metal pan you may need to add a bit more time. I do recommend skipping the non-stick pans though, they aren’t great for our health.

    I tried this for part of our lunch today and it was a hit! I used melted butter instead of oil and went with 1 tsp. of Frontier brand granulated garlic(which seems a bit stronger than some other brands to me)and 2 tsp. of parsley. My daughter said to definitely save the recipe and make it again. Thanks for sharing this!

    So it's not a yeast bread? Interesting… Will have to try it!

    I've got to try this. I'm going to try to avoid the grocery store this week and use up what I have on hand. I have all these ingredients so this will be on the menu!

    I was just telling Chris that I want to get my sourdough starter going again. But this sounds wonderful for a quick bread.

      I love my Pyrex ones, my favorite are my vintage ones but the new ones are good as well and affordable.

    Just finished making this. It was delicious with butter and grated cheese. Going to make it again but may add some sweet corn next time.

        It turned out just awesome with 1/2 cup of frozen sweetcorn in the batter and extra grated cheese on top of loaf before baking. Made a whole lot , sliced it up and in the freezer.

    Sounds yummy! Do you think leaving out the sugar will make much of a difference? I’m diabetic & adding those extra carbs doesn’t sound like a good idea for me.

      I’m not sure. I would try cutting it back to start with. It’s not that much per slice as it is but maybe try 2-3 tablespoons.
