Optional Toppings:

  • A sprinkle of fresh parsley
  • Additional shredded cheese for a golden crust

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a standard loaf pan (approximately 9×5 inches) with butter or non-stick spray. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Add the dried herbs (thyme, oregano, parsley) to the bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, whole milk, and eggs until well combined.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  1. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  2. Pour the wet mixture into the well and gently mix using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing, as it can make the bread dense.
  3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan, ensuring even distribution.
