Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the Biscuit Dough

• In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, cold water, and cheddar cheese.

• Stir gently until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.

3. Bake the Loaf

• Spread the dough evenly into the prepared loaf pan.

• Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping

• While the loaf bakes, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.

5. Brush and Cool

• As soon as the loaf is out of the oven, brush the garlic-parsley butter over the top.

• Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

• This biscuit loaf is best served warm and fresh out of the oven.

• For easier slicing, use a serrated bread knife once the loaf has cooled slightly.
