Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk (or substitute with milk + lemon juice/vinegar)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually pour in the buttermilk while gently stirring the mixture.
  4. Mix until the dough comes together; it should be sticky but manageable.
  5. Lightly press and fold the dough on a floured surface a few times.
  6. Shape the dough into a ball and pat it down slightly.
  7. Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Slash an X on top of the dough with a sharp knife.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For a healthier option, try using whole wheat flour or adding flax seeds and oats for extra nutrients. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar. Slice and freeze leftovers to keep them fresh for up to three months. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, jams, or simply butter, making it versatile for any meal. Enjoy experimenting with different add-ins!
