Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 lices cooked bacon diced
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded, divided
- ½ cup green onions diced, about 2 large green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 1-pound metal loaf pan (8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan) with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix until well blended.
- Crack two eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Add buttermilk and olive oil to the eggs and mix until combined.
- Add buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined and a dough forms.
- Add the diced bacon, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onions to the dough. Fold in with a silicone spatula into the dough then transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the loaf for about 40 minutes then top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake about another 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove from the pan and allow the bread to finish cooling, then slice and enjoy.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a glass measuring cup. Then fill the measuring cup with milk to the one cup measure and stir. Let the mixture sit for at least five minutes, then you can add it to the recipe in place of buttermilk.
- You can substitute storebought precooked bacon into this recipe. You'll need about one tablespoon of chopped bacon per strip if the bacon is already chopped, or about 1/4 cup. If using precooked bacon crisp up the bacon in a large skillet before adding it to the dough. I don't recommend using imitation bacon bits in this recipe.
- One way to tell if the inside of the loaf is done cooking is to use a food thermometer to test the center of the loaf. This bread will be finished baking when the inside reaches 200 degrees farenheit.
- When cooking quick bread, I recommend using a metal loaf pan. You can use glass, but a glass pan will take a little longer to heat which may mean your loaf may need to cook for a little longer than recommended by the recipe.
- Yes, you can swap a 9 x 5 inch pan. Because the pan is slightly wider, I would recommend checking the loaf five to ten minutes early as the loaf may bake a little quicker.
