Easy Baked Scallion Bread
Ingredients
Dough
- 245g bread flour or all-purpose flour or spelt flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 1/2 tablespoon vegan butter, softened
Scallion mixture
- 10 stalks scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons oil
Toppings
- melted vegan butter for brushing
- sesame seeds for toppings
Preparation
Place sugar, warm water, and yeast in a cup and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Place the dough ingredients in a bowl of a stand mixer and add the yeast mixture, then knead into a shaggy dough using a dough hook.
Fold in the softened butter and knead again until incorporated, then cover and let the dough rise until it doubles in size.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a pot until bubbles form around chopsticks, about 160F, and slowly pour it into the scallion mixture, then mix until well combined and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375F and lightly grease a baking sheet pan.
When the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a clean surface, then divide it into 4 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a 10-inch circle and place on the prepared baking sheet, spread with one-third of the filling on the first circle, top with the second circle, and repeat until ending with the last layer of dough.
Brush the dough with melted vegan butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then bake for about 27 minutes until golden brown.
Brush with more melted vegan butter after baking.
