Buttermilk gives this cheesy quick bread a subtle tang and keeps it nice and moist. Serve with plenty of butter. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 713.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pan
2 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
7 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan; set aside.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and 6 ounces cheese; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, and buttermilk until thoroughly combined. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine. Transfer to prepared pan; spread evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle over remaining 1 ounce cheese. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove bread from pan and let cool completely on wire rack.
