CHEDDAR BAY BISCUIT BREAD

This Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bread brings all the mouthwatering flavor of your favorite restaurant biscuits into one easy, sliceable loaf!

The first time I made Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bread, it was a last-minute idea when I didn’t have time to shape individual biscuits. I poured the batter into a loaf pan, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best. The result? A buttery, cheesy dream that my husband couldn’t stop slicing into, and my daughter asked if it was “cheese cake but for dinner.” It’s now our go-to for cozy meals, soups, and holiday spreads.

Ingredients Notes For Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bread

• Sugar: A touch of sweetness to balance the savory

• Garlic Powder & Dried Herbs: For that signature Cheddar Bay flavor

• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Use sharp cheddar for bold flavor

• Buttermilk: Adds tenderness and flavor (or use milk + vinegar as a sub)

• Butter: Melted into the batter and brushed on top for extra richness

• Parsley or Chives (Optional): For a fresh finish

Recipe Steps

1. Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, herbs, and salt.

3. Add Cheese & Buttermilk: Stir in shredded cheddar. Add buttermilk and melted butter. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix!

4. Bake: Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Brush with Garlic Butter: While hot, brush the top with a mix of melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.

6. Cool & Slice: Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use biscuit mix instead of flour? Yes! Use about 2 cups of biscuit mix and skip the baking powder and salt.
