Procedure
- Heat oven to 375ºF. Coat the inside of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and dill in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cheese and stir in the beer just to combine. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the sunflower seeds, if using.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the bread reaches an internal temperature of 210ºF on a digital instant-read thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
