Equipment
- Oven Preheat to 425°F (220°C)
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs
- 4 ounces medium or sharp cheddar cheese, diced small
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 0.25 cup pine nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly sprinkle it with flour.
- In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the herbs, cheese, and pine nuts. Mix well, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
- In a small bowl or cup, combine the buttermilk and egg, stirring until well mixed.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk and egg mixture. Stir until just combined, ensuring all the flour is incorporated.
- Turn the dough out onto a generously floured work surface. Coat the dough with flour by turning it several times. Shape it into a round loaf. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour to the work surface.
- Transfer the loaf to the prepared sheet pan. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut an X on top of the loaf.
- Bake for 20 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Brush the loaf with melted butter and allow it to cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve the bread sliced thick with butter.
Notes
For added flavor, try using different herbs like rosemary or thyme in the bread. No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
