This American-style soda bread is a quick and easy bread recipe that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to your favorite soup or stew. Made with simple ingredients like flour, baking soda, and buttermilk, this bread is crusty on the outside and tender on the inside.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
- Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and use a sharp knife to score an 'X' on the top.
- Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool before slicing and serving.
