Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 12 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a little unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes, then add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, chopped fresh parsley, and garlic powder until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until the batter comes together. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the bread is baking, prepare the cream cheese spread. Soften the cream cheese in a small bowl and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and drizzle them with olive oil and black pepper. Set aside.
Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cooled savory bread and spread with softened cream cheese. Top with halved cherry tomatoes.
Serve immediately or store the bread separately from the toppings to maintain freshness.
