Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk (You may not need it all. )

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet, or lightly spray with non-stick baking spray.
  • Add flour, salt and baking soda to a large bowl and using a fork mix well.
  • Add 1-¼ cup of buttermilk and mix until the flour is moistened and partially comes together. If necessary, add a little more buttermilk if your dough is too dry.
  • Pour this mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until the dough forms a nice ball and holds together. Do not knead too much, or your bread will be tough.
  • Shape the dough into approximately a 6-inch disk about 2 inches high and place it on your baking sheet.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut an X about 1 inch deep and extend it almost to the edges of the dough. This helps it cook in the middle.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve warm with butter.
