Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Incorporate the cold, grated butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and shredded cheese until blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just combined.
- If using, sprinkle some extra shredded cheese and fresh herbs between layers as you fold the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top and sprinkling more cheese and herbs if desired.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden-brown, and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Avoid overmixing the ingredients to maintain a fluffy texture. Customize with different cheeses or add-ins like bacon or jalapeños for a twist.
