The base recipe for this moist quick bread is as simple as simple gets: AP flour, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, oil or butter, baking soda, baking powder and salt. The results are a flavorful quick bread that can be served as is, or dressed up with whatever sweet or savory filling you desire. Some sweet add-in ideas are chocolate chips, dried fruit and nuts, cinnamon and apples, or even orange zest and blueberries. For this specific bread I went savory with some fresh dill and grated white cheddar cheese; if you want to make a savory version, simply reduce the sugar amount and it magically becomes a welcomed slice of bread for lunch or dinnertime.

The pesto variation sounds amazing as well. I’m always looking for new ways to use leftover pesto.
