Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional for glaze)
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional for glaze)
½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a standard loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Cut in cold butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Pour in buttermilk and gently mix until just combined—do not overmix.
6. Transfer dough into prepared pan and press in lightly, smoothing the top.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. If using glaze, mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley.
9. Brush garlic butter glaze over the loaf while still warm.
10. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use butter straight from the fridge and avoid overworking the dough for a fluffy texture.
For extra flavor, don’t skip the garlic butter glaze—it really completes the Red Lobster vibe.
This loaf can be doubled and baked in two pans for entertaining or holiday meals.
