Preparing the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add flour, salt, baking soda, black pepper, chopped scallions, cheddar cheese, buttermilk, and vegetable oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
First Rise and Baking
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan and dust with cornmeal.
- Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared loaf pan. Cover and let rise again until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Feel free to customize the bread by swapping scallions for fresh herbs or experimenting with different types of cheese. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
