Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. Lightly coat a baking sheet with the softened butter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 cup of the buttermilk.
  5. Stir with a large spoon or your hand until the dough begins to come together.
  6. If the dough is crumbly, add the remaining buttermilk one tablespoon at a time until it forms a soft, slightly sticky ball.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  8. Gently pat and shape the dough into a round loaf, about 8 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches thick. Avoid over-kneading.
  9. Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross (X) into the top of the loaf, dividing it into four quarters.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  12. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
