Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1¾ cups of buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour a baking sheet or use a cast iron skillet for best results.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Add buttermilk: Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and slowly add 1¾ cups of buttermilk, mixing gently.
- Form the dough: As a sticky dough starts to form, place it onto a floured surface. Gently knead to shape a round loaf.
- Score the top: Use a sharp knife to cut a deep cross on top. This traditional step prevents the crust from cracking.
- Bake: Place your dough onto the prepared sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy plain or with butter!
