Garlic Cheese Quick Bread

Quiltingqueen's Note:

Found this recipe in Taste of Home when looking for a fast bread to serve with dinner. My husband thought it tasted kinda sweet, and I was expecting it to taste the garlic more, but we both thought it was good. As with most quick breads I think this tastes better after it cools, however it does not stay fresh for more than a day or two so eat it quick! The original recipe called for self rising flour, which I never have on hand, so I just used regular flour and added the baking powder and salt...so it can be made using self rising flour--just don't add the baking powder and salt.

Very good quick bread; nice garlic taste! I used 3 cups self rising flour & omitted the baking powder & salt.
Update: this bread also makes great croutons for salad! Cut into cubes, place on baking sheet, spray w/oil & toast for approx. 40 min at 200 degrees.

I have this in the oven right now and it smells divine! Used a garlic seasoning mix and that is the only change I made. If it tastes as good as it smells, I will be ever so happy! If it doesn't I will be back to alter my review.

This bread is delicious. We had it with butter on and garlic soup. I did have to make a couple of alterations as the comments said it was not very strong in garlic taste so I added an extra tsp and I also added 1tsp mix herbs as our family loves herb bread. The mixture was a little dry so I needed to add a little bit of extra milk. Other than the additions I decided to make myself this was a quick and delicious bread. Before cooking in the oven I added a sprinkling of cheese and sesame seeds to the top which my family commented on how tasty the crust was.
Thanks for this recipe, I will definitely be making it again!
