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