    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to break any clumps.

    3

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of melted butter until combined.

    4

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

    5

    Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of herbs of your choice.

    6

    Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top.

    7

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.

    8

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
