Cheddar Bay Biscuit Loaf

If you, like me, are absolutely in LOVE with the Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster, then you will go crazy over this similarly tasting, super easy loaf. It is incredible warm from the oven, but also delicious when cooled. It makes fabulous toast, and the tastiest croutons ever.

 For the Bread:

1¾ c. flour

1 T. sugar

1 T. baking powder

½ t. fine sea salt

¼ t. Old Bay seasoning

3 c. freshly shredded cheddar cheese

1 c. whole milk

1 large egg

¼ c. unsalted butter, melted

 For the Topping:

¼ c. unsalted butter, melted

¼ t. garlic powder

1/8 t. fine sea salt

Pinch Old Bay seasoning

Pinch onion powder

Pinch dried parsley

 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9”x5” loaf pan with PAM; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and Old Bay until combined. Add the cheddar cheese and stir it together so the cheese is coated in the flour mixture. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg; pour into the dry mixture and stir it until just combined. Add melted butter and mix it in until everything is combined and there are no dry patches.

Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the bread is baking, make the topping: whisk together the butter, garlic powder, salt, Old Bay, onion powder, and dried parsley.  

Remove loaf pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool slightly. Immediately brush the bread with the butter topping. Let the bread cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then take it out of the pan and cool completely on the wire rack. Slice and serve.
