Ingredients
  

Loaf Components
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour 375g
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder 15g
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda 3g
  • 1/2 cup Salted butter 113g, cold and cubed
  • 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese 226g, freshly grated
  • 1 1/4 cups Buttermilk 300ml, cold
  • 1/4 cup Melted butter 60ml
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder 5g
  • 1 tsp Dried parsley 1g

Equipment

  • 1 Dark metal loaf pan 9x5 inch size preferred
  • 1 Box Grater For fresh cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a dark metal loaf pan with butter.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Mixing the Dough
  1. Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the dry mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Fold in 1.5 cups of cheddar, then stir in the buttermilk until just combined. The dough will be lumpy and craggy.
Baking
  1. Spoon dough into the pan without smoothing. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 45-50 minutes until deep golden-brown.
  2. Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush over the hot loaf immediately after removing from the oven.

Notes

Always use cold butter for the best texture.
Freshly grated cheese is essential for the bubbling orange pockets.
