Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water with sugar, whisk in instant yeast and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes. Grease a loaf pan and sprinkle cornmeal inside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and baking soda.
  3. Fold in scallions and cheddar cheese into the flour mixture.
  4. Pour yeast mixture and buttermilk into the dry ingredients, add vegetable oil, and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 4-6 minutes until soft.
  5. Transfer dough to loaf pan, smooth the top, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
