Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 320 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning Split use
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups buttermilk Shaken well
- 9 tbsp unsalted butter Melted, divided use
- 2 oz cream cheese Cut into small chunks
Fresh Ingredients
- ½ cup scallions or chives Finely sliced
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and place rack in the center. Grease an 8×8-inch pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs for easy lifting.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 tbsp of the everything bagel seasoning. Add scallions and toss to coat lightly.
- Mix in the cream cheese pieces, breaking them up slightly as you add. Pour in the buttermilk and 8 tbsp melted butter. Gently fold the mixture until no dry flour remains; the batter should look thick and uneven.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to settle it. Drizzle with the remaining butter and sprinkle the rest of the everything bagel seasoning on top.
Baking
- Bake for about 45–55 minutes until the surface is golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For storage, allow bread to cool completely on a wire rack before wrapping it in plastic wrap or placing it in an airtight container. It lasts for up to two days at room temperature. For longer storage, slice and freeze individually wrapped portions.
