Ingredients

  • 3 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Score a deep cross in the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
