Ingredients

3 ounces parmesan cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 12 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
18 teaspoon cayenne pepper
18 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup whole milk
12 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg

Directions

1

Position oven rack in middle position; preheat oven to 350; grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Parmesan evenly over the bottom of the pan.
2

In a bowl, whisk the flour,baking powder, salt, cayenne, and black pepper together.

Stir in cheddar cheese, breaking up clumps, until it is coated with the flour mixture.
4

In another bowl, whisk the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and egg together until smooth.
5

Gently fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (do not overmix); the batter will be heavy and thick.
6

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan evenly over the top.
8

Bake 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and pick comes out with just a few crumbs attached, rotating the pan halfway through baking.

Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack; let cool for 1 hour before serving.
