Ingredients

4 cups bread flour plus more for dusting

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

6 tablespoons butter, softened

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

3/4 cup finely chopped onion

3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour, salt, and baking powder until thoroughly combined. Beat in the butter, buttermilk, and confectioners’ sugar to make a dough; gently mix in the onion and Cheddar cheese. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a ball. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten to about 2 inches thick. Dust each loaf with flour.

3. Bake on a preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Cool on racks for a few minutes; serve warm.

NOTE: To make into biscuits, increase the cheese and onion to 1 cup each. Form into drop biscuits on the parchment-lined sheet, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and cooked through.
