Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sugar until well combined.
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped herbs, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Stir gently until just combined; the dough will be thick.
Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
