Parmesan Garlic Herb Quick Bread

This Parmesan Garlic Herb Quick Bread is a tender, flavorful bread that makes a great side dish to any meal.

We are a bread family. Rolls, garlic bread, french toast, zucchini bread, you name it, we love it. I am a huge fan of quick breads and I’ve been wanting to experiment with savory recipes. This is my first attempt and I’m excited with how it turned out.

I found a great base recipe at The Kitchn, adapted it slightly, then added some delicious flavors that I knew would go perfectly with the Chicken Parmesan I was making for dinner. I wanted something that tasted like garlic bread, but wasn’t, but wasn’t since I didn’t have any french bread on hand. This Parmesan Garlic Herb Quick Bread was a most excellent solution.

Quick breads are now the king of my kitchen! I’m working on several delicious variations that will have all sorts of flavors. I love them because let’s be real, there’s no better way to get a fresh, hot loaf of bread on the table then the dump and stir method that quick breads offer.

Because I wanted something that resembled garlic bread, at least in flavor, I added lots of minced garlic, fresh grated Parmesan cheese, and oregano and rosemary for a little brightness. The result my friends, was this tender, moist, incredibly flavorful bread that I literally cannot stop eating. I’m doing pretty well for typing with one hand right?

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced (or 3 teaspoons)
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with nonstick cooking spray a standard 9x5 loaf pan.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Gently mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk and egg.
• Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. Gently stir and fold the ingredients until all the flour has been incorporated and a wet batter is formed. Gently fold in the herbs and garlic. Be careful not to over-mix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges.
• Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes. When finished, the loaf should be domed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing, slicing and serving.
• Wrap cooled loaves tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to a week. For freezer storage, wrap in plastic and aluminum foil and frozen for up to three months.
