Servings 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 3⅔ cup all-purpose flour plus a little more for dusting (if it still looks too wet after mixing, add more flour in 1/4 cup increments, adding no more than 1 additional cup total- mixing in between each addition.) Measure using the spoon & level method so you don't end up with too much.
- 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1¾ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper over the baking sheet. Set aside.
- Mix the flour, salt & baking soda together in a large mixer bowl.
- Make a well in the center- pour in the buttermilk.
- Mix with the paddle attachment of your mixer or you can kneed in by hand until the dough is soft. Should be fairly wet but not sticky.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface & knead 3-4 times to smooth.
- Shape into flat circle - mine was about 1-2 inches thick but still flat in shape.
- Place on prepared the parchment lined sheet & cut a cross from edge to edge on top.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden. When it sounds hollow when tapped- it's ready.
Notes
**If you don't have buttermilk (which I didn't) you can put 1-3/4 tbsp vinegar in measuring cup & then fill the rest with regular milk until you reach 1-3/4 cup. Let sit for 5 minutes before mixing in.
