Best 7 Scallion Bread Recipes

CHEDDAR AND SCALLION BREAD

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.

PAN-FRIED SCALLION & CHIVE BREAD (CHONG YU BING)

Steps:

• Combine oil and chili oil in a small dish and set aside. Combine scallions, cilantro and chives in another bowl and set aside.
• Combine flour and baking powder in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the flat paddle. With machine running on low speed, add hot and cold water in quick succession. Stop machine as soon as dough comes together in a soft ball. If it's very tacky and sticky, add a bit more flour.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 15 minutes. (If the dough has been made in a food processor, let rest 40 minutes.) Roll gently into a smooth log. Cut evenly into 4 pieces, then put each piece, cut side down, on the lightly floured board. Cover with plastic wrap.
• Working with a piece at a time, shape dough by rolling into a thin, even circle about 7 ½ inches in diameter. Brush top with a generous film of the oil mixture, then sprinkle evenly with a rounded ¼ teaspoon salt. Heap dough with 2/3 cup of reserved greens, then spread evenly over top. Roll up dough into a fat cylinder - it doesn't need to be too tight. Grasp one end of the dough and wind other end around it in a tight spiral. Tuck tail end underneath and press lightly with your hand to flatten. Gently roll out into a 6-inch circle. Put aside on a freshly floured spot, then repeat with remaining dough.
• Cook breads immediately to prevent a soggy texture. Heat an 8- to 10-inch heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water evaporates on contact. Add enough oil to glaze bottom by 1/8 inch, swirling to coat; reduce heat to moderate. When oil is hot enough to foam a pinch of flour, add first bread to pan. Cook until bottom is golden and a bit crusty, 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust heat so bread doesn't scorch. Flip and fry until golden, about 3 minutes longer. Remove to paper towel-lined plate. Repeat process with oil and remaining dough.
• Serve breads fresh from skillet, each cut into fourths. Or let cool and hold at room temperature up to 8 hours. Reheat in 350°F oven until hot, about 5 minutes.

BUTTERMILK SCALLION SKILLET CORN BREAD

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.

HERB-AND-SCALLION BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine bread, parsley, sage, and thyme in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Cook celery and garlic with a pinch of salt until celery is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add scallions and cook until tender but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Pour mixture into bowl with bread and stir. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 3-quart round baking dish (2 to 3 inches deep) or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk together eggs, stock, heavy cream, 2 teaspoons salt, and some pepper. Pour over bread mixture and toss until bread is evenly soaked. Transfer to baking dish, pressing into corners, and dot top with butter.
• Bake until top puffs and center is set, about 1 hour. Tent with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

SCALLION BREAD

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.
