Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds (lightly toasted)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or yogurt)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and toasted cumin seeds. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the grated cheese and gently fold the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
