In keeping with the fall theme, we are going to make some bread! Not pumpkin or anything like that. CHEESE bread! Cheese bread you don’t have to knead! What could be cooler than that?
This recipe is pretty easy and relatively fast.
Start by whisking together flour, salt and baking soda.
Add the butter to the mixture and, using your fingers, incorporate it in until it looks a bit sandy. We heated up the butter just a little to make it easier to get it all mixed in.
Now add the cheese, about a cup and a 1/4, and stir it in. We coarsely shredded our cheese.
Now add 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk.
We switched over to the mixer to stir the dough but you don’t have to. You don’t want to over work the dough, stop stirring when the dough just starts to come together.
Now, grab your greased and floured loaf pans…
And divide the dough evenly between the two pans. Make a shallow slit down the middle of the dough the long way and the short way (like a cross) then spread the remaining 1 tbsp of butter along those slits.
Bake 25 – 30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool in the pans for about 30 minutes before slicing.
You will love this bread. It’s dense and cheesy and just overall delicious!
