Parmesan Walnut Bread

Budget Gifts Recipes

3 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (fresh if you have it!) 4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 beaten egg 1.75 cups milk 1/3 cup cooking oil 1 cup chopped walnuts, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9x3 inch loaf pan (ha ha - try finding THAT size! I haven't yet! I use a regular loaf pan and a mini one for this recipe and remove the smaller pan from oven first). In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cheese, baking powder and salt. In a small mixing bowl, stir together egg, milk and oil. Add egg mix to flour mix, stirring JUST until combined (batter will be lumpy). Stir in 3/4 cup of the nuts. Turn into greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining nuts over the top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour or until toothpick tests done. Cool in pan for 10 mins. Remove loaf from pan; cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing, or give as a gift. Makes 1 loaf (18 servings). Enjoy! -Diana
