Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cayenne.
Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in cheddar cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Spoon dough into pan in dollops/layers (don’t smooth it flat).
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
While warm, brush top with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley.
Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for best flavor and melt.
Don’t overmix the dough—it should be lumpy and sticky.
For extra cheesiness, sprinkle cheddar between dough layers.
Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
Store leftovers at room temperature or refrigerate up to 4 days.
