Cheddar Batter Bread is cheesy, soft, and satisfies all of those savory bread cravings. Not only that, it’s easy to boot and ready in just 90 minutes!
Baking is one of our favorite things to do in the middle of this freezing winter weather. Not only does using the oven warm up the house, but warm bread also warms up our bellies! Cheddar batter bread totally satisfies all of our baking cravings. It’s cheesy, soft, and totally delicious straight out of the oven. We like to spread a little apple butter on top, and that combination of the cheddar with the apple is just so homey and inviting…so we typically invite ourselves to devour the entire loaf! We truly apologize for introducing you to this recipe, because once you’ve tried it you won’t be able to stop eating it until both loaves are gone!
Here’s the deal: batter breads have an extremely wet dough. If you’ve been making sourdough or french bread or even sandwich bread lately, this dough may throw you for a minute. Don’t worry though and just trust the process. This dough is meant to be quite wet, so just keep on going with the recipe and we promise it will turn out. It really is a fairly simple and easy recipe. Some bread recipes are really involved and time consuming, which is why we keep coming back to cheddar batter bread time and time again. It is quick, it is easy, and it is delicious.

Is the hot sauce necessary in this recipe or is there an alternative?
It does add an additional flavor but if you need to leave it out, the recipe will still work great!
This bread is as yummy as advertised. I really did miss the video that usually accompanies most of the recipes. I love the visual of how the process looks. For example after adding the flour, how wet is wet? Pourable or just very sticky.
Regardless, it came out quite tasty.
Easy and delicious. Tender and satisfying. Great toasted.
Can I use gluten-free flour? If so, any changes?
Awesome
What is egg substitute?n any other cheese variety instead of parmesan?
I would love to try this recipe. Unfortunately, I don’t own a stand mixer. Is there another option?
Yes, you can always make this by hand, mixing with a wooden spoon in a large bowl. If it gets too difficult to stir with a spoon as you add the flour, switch to mixing with your hands.
