Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 oz cubed fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 tbsp grape-seed oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4 inch bread pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Stir in chopped basil, cubed mozzarella cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes until evenly incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, grape-seed oil (or olive oil), and buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; the dough will be sticky.

  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top; check doneness with a toothpick.
