Cheddar and Dill Buttermilk Quick Bread
This Cheddar and Dill Buttermilk Quick Bread is light and flaky and bursting with flavour! This bread requires no kneading and no rising, and you can have it on your table in about one hour.
I have developed a thing for quick breads. Who knew you could make a loaf of bread in just over one hour, with no kneading and no rising? Warm bread on the table in time for dinner? Yes. Please.
Buttermilk quick breads have simple base ingredients that are the perfect platform for many different flavour combinations. I have been busy experimenting and am discovering many delicious variations. First I made this Mozzarella & Parmesan Buttermilk Quick Bread, and then last week I made this Cheddar & Dill Buttermilk Quick Bread. Oh the deliciousness.
I love dill, and the addition of this herb to this bread doesn’t disappoint! The combination of cheddar cheese and fresh dill in this bread is SO good.
Savoury quick breads like this one are perfect to serve alongside any grilled meat, soup, or chili. They’re also great the next day if you toast them and slather them with butter…oh yum!

Have a delicious day!
This looks amazing- I love dill and cheddar so this will definitely be on my list of things to make- definitely pinning!
I stopped by from Inspiration Monday.
Thank you Jessy!
Can I add shredded chicken or cooked minced meat to your cheddar butter milk n chive zucchini bread ? If yes how much ? I once tried about a cup in the center only
Hi Muhammad! I’ve never added any extra ingredients, but I don’t see why you couldn’t add some cooked minced meat to it. I would only add about 1/2 cup and make sure the batter is well mixed before baking.
Awesomeness! Exactly what I was looking for! Making this today! I want to add jalapeños to it, think that’s okay? We love buttermilk! And I love that it’s a quick bread! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Hi Terri! I bet jalapenos would be delicious!
Sounds yummy!!!! Even may be able 2 do this! Thx****
You definitely can! Enjoy!

Hello beautiful! I’m stopping by to let you know that your yummy cheddar bread received the most views at our last party. We will be featuring it at our party tonight at 7. Happy dance time! Lou Lou Girls
Oh, I really need my dill to grow faster so that I can make this bread! It looks amazing.
I’ve never made bread. Yeah, true story. I’ve always been intimated by it. I think you have cured me of this 😀
(Visiting from Lou Lou Girls, congrats on having the most views!)

I just made this and it was amazing. I did forget to add the sugar. I didn’t see it in the steps.
Mine was done in 30 min. I added the sugar. Cant wait to try it.
Can I substitute 1 cup of buttermilk for the yogurt and milk in the Jalapeño cheddar quick bread? Can’t wait to try this recipe
Hi Diane! Yes, you absolutely can!
I have this baking in the oven as we speak. The ingredients include sugar but the instructions don’t say when and where to add it. Should it be in there?
Hi! I always add a bit of sugar, but it’s fine if it’s left out. I’ll fix the recipe to reflect that…thank you for mentioning it!
Hi! This looks delicious, but I ran out of butter! Can I substitute olive oil or vegetable oil?
Hi Laney! I wish I could say, but I’ve never substituted oil in this recipe…I would be afraid the bread would come out too greasy!
This was so good! It’s only the two of us, so I halved this and made it in a muffin tin (6 muffins). I also just used what I had on hand- mozzarella- so it was much more subtle in cheese flavor, but still rich and tender! The proportions of the ingredients are what makes it- so it’s easily really riffable, based on what you have! Definitely keeping this in the rotation!

I’m so happy you enjoyed it Caroline!
Hi! My family LOVES this recipe! Can I freeze this bread? Will it keep well?
Hi Emilia, so sorry for the late response! I’m so happy your family loves this recipe…it’s a favourite here too! And yes, absolutely you can freeze this bread. You can always warm it up in the oven once it had defrosted…I’ll wrap mine in tin foil and put it in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or so to warm it up.
