Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Grease a metal loaf pan with vegetable shortening or non-stick cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and baking soda.
  4. Add chopped scallions and grated sharp cheddar cheese to the dry mix, then pour in the bloomed yeast mixture, buttermilk, and vegetable oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 4-6 minutes until soft and slightly sticky.
  6. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
