What Kind of Cheese Should I Use?

Ingredients for the Easy Cheesy Biscuit Loaf

All-purpose flour: Forms the base and structure of the loaf.
Baking powder: Gives the biscuits lift and fluffiness.
Salt: Enhances all the flavors in the loaf.
Butter: Adds richness and that classic biscuit tenderness.
Milk: Brings the dough together and adds moisture.
Sharp cheddar cheese: The star ingredient, giving the loaf its cheesy magic.
Fresh parsley (optional): Sprinkled on top for a touch of color and herbaceous freshness.

How To Make the Easy Cheesy Biscuit Loaf

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy release.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution and helps the loaf rise evenly.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until you have a crumbly texture with small pea-sized pieces of butter.

Step 4: Add Milk and Cheese

Pour in the milk and fold in the shredded sharp cheddar. Mix just until combined — the dough should be slightly lumpy but cohesive.

Step 5: Fill the Pan and Top It Off

Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently. Sprinkle extra cheddar or Parmesan on top if you like a cheesy crust.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Serving and Storing Your Easy Cheesy Biscuit Loaf

Serve this loaf warm for the ultimate cheesy pull-apart experience. It pairs beautifully with soups, chili, or even as a savory breakfast topped with a fried egg. For parties, slice it into thick wedges and serve with a spread of butter or cream cheese.

To store, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container. It stays fresh at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the oven or toaster to bring back the crisp edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make the loaf extra cheesy?

Add a layer of cheese in the middle of the dough or sprinkle extra on top before baking.

Can I use gluten-free flour?

Yes! Use a gluten-free all-purpose blend — just check that it has a binder like xanthan gum.

Can I freeze the loaf?

Absolutely. Wrap it tightly in plastic and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw and warm in the oven when ready.

What herbs go well in this loaf?

Chives, rosemary, or thyme are fantastic mixed into the dough or sprinkled on top.

Why is my loaf dense?

Overmixing can make the dough tough. Mix just until combined for the fluffiest texture.
