Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes, until the dough comes together in a ball.
3
Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and shape into a round loaf. Cut a deep cross in the top of the loaf and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
