Delicious golden cheddar scallion bread made with sharp cheddar and green scallions. Quick easy bread goes well cup of soup or as toast.
On a grocery shopping trip, I bought cheddar cheese thinking that I will make mac and cheese with cauliflower. But Cauliflower got converted into delicious curry by my hubby. I have to blog about his way of cooking as well as recipe of delicious curry in coming episode of blogging.
I decided to make bread with cheddar cheese. Bread making gives me happiness in three steps, when I see the yeast working and dough doubling, I am happy thinking this is success # 1.
Then next success step comes when bread bakes well and the freshly baked bread comes out with an intoxicating smell. The third and final step comes when the bread is cut and a piece gets test tasted by my princess, if she likes it, it is a winner.
I thought adding scallions may enhance the flavor, then I hunted for the bread recipes containing scallion. I saw a potato scallion recipe in bread baking apprentice, also cheddar scallion rolls in King Arthur flour website.
Then found this recipe in of cheddar and Jalapeño bread from here. If I add Jalapeño my princess can’t take it, so I decided to skip and added scallions. The scallions are new found favorites in breads.
You know, I can’t help changing a recipe while trying. My hubby says try original first and then change the recipe next time. Sorry, I won’t follow the rule. I made this bread as adaptation from Cabot cheese golden cheddar bread recipe.
Changes I made are used homemade yogurt, honey and also added garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and scallions. One good thing about this recipe is that you need only a small amount of oil for greasing the pan.
I preheated oven to 375 °F and reduced to 350 °F while baking, instead of 400 °F and reduced to 350 °F as suggested in the recipe. I used active dry yeast compared to instant yeast as suggested by the recipe.
After 55 minutes I was able to get delicious cheesy bread with scallions peaking in between. Flavors get more intensify if you toast the bread. I am going to keep this bread recipe in my kitchen.
My hubby wants me to make the Jalapeño / cheddar cheese bread, which I am going to try when I get a chance. Try it if you are fan of cheddar cheese, make sure to use the sharp cheddar for more flavor.
Here goes the recipe.
First grab the ingredients from refrigerator and Pantry. Grate the cheese and set aside ¼ cup of cheese back in refrigerator. Chop the green onions and set aside 3 tablespoon.
Then in small bowl add lukewarm water and¼ teaspoon honey and yeast, so that yeast will be happy to meet honey and they marry each other and proof well.
Measure flour, cheese, salt, yogurt etc. I like to weigh everything in a bowl of kitchenaid stand mixer, as it will reduce number of dishes for cleaning.
Attach paddle attachment of the kitchen aid stand mixer and mix flour, cheddar and parmesan cheese, salt, yeast, honey, garlic powder water to form a sticky but smooth dough.Remove the paddle attachment and with dough hook knead the dough well to 10-15 minutes.
Make sure dough should pass window pan test or if you press them it will smooth and shiny.
Set aside in greased bowl with greased plastic wrap and covered with kitchen towel for about 60minutes or it doubles in size. Punch down the dough and set aside for another 30 minutes.
Then take out the dough and spread them into rectangle and roll to form a log and transfer to 9x5 loaf pan greased with oil. Add rest of cheese and green onions you kept aside. I forgot this step and did only when I was ready to bake the bread. Let it rise for another 30 minutes or the dough rise until the rim of the loaf pan.
At the end of second rise pre-heat oven to 375 F and bake the bread for first 5 minutes 375F and reduce the temperature to 350F and continue to bake for about 45 minutes or until the loaf register the internal temperature of 190F.
Remove from the oven and set aside in the pan for about 5 minutes and then transfer the bread to cooling rack.
Cut the bread only when it is completely cool. Enjoy them as sandwich or side for soup.

Hi Swathi, I've been so out of touch all week, will post about it soon! I love your Cheddar Scallion Bread...the bread that I was hoping to make. You know, you can still link it to Lora's 'twelve loaves' since we're still in September, for the 'cheese' bread. I appreciate so much that you made and showed all these step-by-step photos of your gorgeous and delicious bread. I also noticed the your loaf pan is longer than the usual loaf pans used for banana bread, or am I mistaken?
Also mentioning the Hearth and Soul Blog in my next post (although too late to link up)
Leave it to you Swathi, to come up with a 'fail proof' and perfectly amazing cheddar cheese bread which I love, and I'm craving for! Thanks for sharing:) xo
