Baked Scallion Bread Recipes

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:

• 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.
