My husband and I often make a meal of bread and salad. We enjoy the garlic, dill and cheddar flavors in this savory bread. We think it's best served fresh from the oven.

16 Servings
Prep: 10 min. Bake: 55 min. + cooling

Ingredients

3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons honey

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cheese, baking powder, garlic powder and dill. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil and honey. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (top will have an uneven appearance). Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices each).

Shred and Freeze Cheese

It’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio
