Scallion Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Sift 2 cups of flour with the baking powder. Stir in the cold water and knead until smooth; let rest.
• Combine remaining flour with 2 teaspoons of salt. Stir in boiling water; mix well. The dough will be very sticky. Knead the hot dough together with the cold dough until smooth. Oil a glass bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Put dough in bowl; cover and let rest 2 hours.
• To form the breads, knead the dough 3 to 4 minutes. Divide into 6 parts. Roll each part into a flat circle 7 to 8 inches in diameter. Brush the top of each circle with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. Sprinkle each circle with salt and scallions. Roll up each circle into a cylinder, pinching the ends closed. With the palms of your hands, roll each cyclinder until it is about 12 inches long. Coil each cylinder like a snake and let it rest. Roll all the coils into 7-inch circles with a rolling pin.
• Heat a thin layer of peanut oil in a large skillet. Fry each circle 8 to 10 minutes, turning midway, until each side is golden and the breads are slightly puffy. Transfer to a heated platter and keep warm until all the bread is cooked. Serve hot, cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place an UNGREASED 10" diameter castiron skillet in the oven while the oven is preheating.
• In a medium size bowl combine the white flour and whole wheat flour. Add the baking powder and salt, stirring well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the oil, plain yogurt, green onions, dill if using, and black pepper. Blend the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture thoroughly to make a soft dough.
• On a floured cutting board, knead the dough about 5 times and pat into a round loaf. Remove castiron skillet from oven and carefully and lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
• Place the shaped dough into the castiron skillet, spreading and flattening out the dough to fill up the pan almost to the edges. Brush on egg wash or melted butter and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Slice baguette into 1/4" slices.
• Chop scallions into bits and mix with shredded cheddar.
• Add enough mayonnaise to make of spreading consistency.
• Spread mixture onto breads and put on cookie sheet.
• Bake on 425 degrees until bubbly and/or very lightly browned.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine the cheese and butter. Process until the mixture is smooth. Add the scallions and garlic and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread the cheese mixture on the cut sides of the bread. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
• Using a serrated knife, cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F. Melt butter and cool. Finely chop scallions. Into a bowl sift together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Heat a dry well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet in middle of oven 10 minutes. Put shortening or bacon fat in skillet and heat 5 minutes. Swirl skillet to coat. While skillet is heating, make batter: Separate eggs. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat yolks until pale and beat in butter and buttermilk. In a bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Stir flour mixture into yolk mixture and fold in whites and scallions gently but thoroughly. Pour batter into hot skillet and, working quickly, spread evenly. Bake corn bread in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Corn bread may be made 4 hours ahead and kept, loosely covered, at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cut bread in half lengthwise.
• Combine scallions, butter and cheese and spread on cut sides of bread.

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp. Drain, let cool, then finely dice.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Stir bacon and scallions into batter. Transfer batter to pan and smooth top.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 15 minutes, before serving.
