The ingredients for Garlic Cheddar Soda Bread are:

2-1/2 cups wheat flour [white wheat is great]
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
2 tsp garlic powder
*optional* add 1-2 TB sugar to cut down on bitterness. [Found mine a little bitter without it.]
1 3/4 cups buttermilk [or soured milk: in 2 cup glass measuring cup--1 3/4 cups milk, minus room for 2 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice, let sit for 10 minutes]
1 egg

Here is how you make Garlic Cheddar Soda Bread:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with Parchment paper. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in the cheese and blend well. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg. Stir them gently into the dry ingredients. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times [it will be STICKY], just until it holds together into a slightly flattened ball. [ I only handled it enough to make it into a oblong oval about 2 inches high.]Place loaf onto the prepared cookie sheet. Cut a 1/2-1" deep cross in the center with a floured sharp knife. *optional*Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Wait 5 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed by the flour before baking.Bake until the loaves are lightly golden and a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean?29-33 minutes.Wrap in a tea towel [ or two] immediately and let cool on a wire rack.Serving Size: makes 2 loaves (divided into fourths)Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AMORPHOUSK.
