Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45-50 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 65 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf
Equipment Needed:
- 9×5 inch loaf pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the cheddar cheese cubes, ensuring they are well-coated with the flour mixture. This helps to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the loaf and prevents it from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and beaten egg until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the loaf tough.
- Bake the Loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool for an additional hour before slicing. This helps the loaf set and makes it easier to cut.
This Red Lobster-inspired Cheese Biscuit Loaf is wonderfully moist and packed with the flavorful punch of sharp cheddar and spices. It’s perfect for dipping into soups, serving with salads, or simply enjoying as a savory snack. Give it a try and bring a touch of restaurant-quality to your table!
