WHIP UP A HOMEMADE SAVORY QUICK CHEESE BREAD IN MINUTES!

Quick Cheese Bread has it all going on. You can be a bread-making rock star by whipping up a quick and easy batch of this cheesy loaf bread.

Quick breads get their name because they come together so quickly. There is no yeast, no kneading, and no time waiting for dough to rise. 

Simply throw all the ingredients in a bowl, stir it up, and throw it in the oven. The baking powder does the legwork for making it rise and within the hour you have a warm, cheesy bread ready to slice into to dunk in comforting soups, like slow cooker turkey chili. 

Making Gluten Free Quick Bread 

Generally any quick bread recipe can easily be adapted to make gluten free. Gluten free yeast breads can be tricky to work with, but quick breads come together beautifully.

Be sure to substitute a quality gluten free all-purpose flour so there isn’t an off-putting texture or taste. My absolute favorite go-to brand is Cup 4 Cup, which I buy off of amazon regularly. 

Here are some other MamaGourmand favorite recipes that gluten free flour can easily be substituted for. 

• Fluffy Biscuits
• Blueberry Zucchini Bread
• Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bread 
• Sweet Irish Soda Bread
• Bacon Maple Cornbread

How To Store and Freeze Bread

Homemade bread is best served fresh. Since it lacks the added preservatives of store-bought bread, freezing homemade breads, either yeast or quick breads, preserves its freshness longer. 

Avoid refrigerating bread because it will dry out quickly. 

1. The number one rule for freezing bread is to make sure it’s completely cool first. This can take several hours because even if it’s cool to the touch on the outside, the inside will still be warm.
2. After it has completely cooled down it’s ready to freeze. Slice the bread if you want to quickly grab a slice or two without defrosting the whole loaf. Unsliced bread will freeze better longer, but I only do this if I’m going to use the whole loaf at a later date. 
3. For sliced bread place in a ziplock freezer bag, drawing out as much air as possible. I also like use these wider freezer bread bags because they fit more than ziplock bags. For entire loaves of bread, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, cover with a layer of foil, and record date on the package.

According to the thekitchn.com, bread will keep three to six months in the freezer. However, texture and flavor are less ideal after a month.

Substitute for Buttermilk – Make Soured Milk at Home 

Baked goods use buttermilk to give a creamy, tangy taste. Also, according to Fine Cooking, buttermilk adds acidity, which keeps bake goods moist and tender by breaking down gluten.

If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, save yourself a trip to the store. It can easily be made at home in five minutes!

1. Pour 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice in a measuring cup.
2. Add milk until you have 1 cup total liquid.
3. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, stir, and then use. 

How To Make Cheese Bread

1. Whisk together dry ingredients. Stir in grated cheeses.
2. In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
3. Add to dry ingredients and stir until flour is just combined.
4. Place dough in greased bread pan. Sprinkle remaining parmesan cheese on top and bake for 45 minutes. 

Cooks’ Tips for Making Quick Cheese Bread

• The recipe calls for using an 8 1/2″ loaf pan. A larger bread pan may be used but the loaf will cook faster and not be as domed.
• Quick Cheese Bread calls for extra sharp cheddar, which helps that cheddar flavor shine through. Medium cheddar will yield a much more subtle flavor. Other cheeses, such as pepper jack, mozzarella, or swiss may be substituted also.
• Be sure to mix flour until just no flour pockets remain and batter is fully moistened. Over mixing makes a denser, tougher crumb. 
• I prefer using freshly grated block cheese because it’s cheaper and it doesn’t contain cellulose, which coats shredded cheese to keep it from sticking together.
