Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  3. In another bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until combined. Then add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and ¼ cup of fresh basil.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
