3/4 cup flour (90 g) gf all purpose if desired
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shredded (plant) cheese (28 g) sub whatever other mix-ins you desire
1/4 cup chopped spinach/scallions etc. (about 15 g) sub whatever other mix-ins you desire

1/3 cup (plant) milk (80 g) I used fat-free ultra filtered milk because that's what I had on hand. If your milk / plant milk is fatty you could omit the oil in the buttermilk mixture.
1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice I used apple cider vinegar
1 tsp any oil (5 g) I used olive oil

Preheat oven to 400F and line a cookie sheet etc with parchment.
In a measuring cup, whisk together milk, vinegar and oil to make a rich buttermilk. Let this sit for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cheese and spinach until coarsely combined.
Add enough buttermilk to combine everything into a shaggy dough, it should not be too wet - you probably won't need all of the buttermilk.
Knead the dough very lightly on a lightly floured surface 3-4 times. DO NOT OVERMIX or your bread will be tough and hard. Cut into 4 and (optional) shape each piece into a round.
Brush the tops with remaining buttermilk (we also sprinkled some everything but the bagel seasoning).
Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden and enjoy!

You can also make a small loaf out of this, baking time will be slightly longer (I would start checking at the 20 min mark).
