Servings: 8
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 4 cups
- Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Buttermilk
- 1 3/4 cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft, shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1 minute, just enough to bring it together.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, make a deep cross-shaped cut on the top of the loaf to help it rise evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
