Ingredients:

• 4 cups of all-purpose flour or bread flour
• 2 cups of whole buttermilk
• 1-1½ tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of salt

Optional

• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp of butter
• 2 tbsp of sugar or honey

Directions:

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk, then mix them all together, and form them into a ball using your hands. Next, flour the bottom of a skillet pan, then place the dough ball at the center, and make sure that the sides are not touching the sides of the pan. Score the center of the dough by slicing a large “X” or cross, then poke a few more holes using your knife along the dough, and rub some leftover milk at the top.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 425°F for about 15 minutes while letting your dough rise on the kitchen counter until it doubles in size, then put it inside the preheated oven, and turn down the temperature to about 350°F. Let the bread bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until cooked through and the top is nice and golden.
