Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to mix the dough until it comes together in a shaggy mass.
4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently for 1-2 minutes, until it comes together into a cohesive mass.
5
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Cut a deep cross in the top of the loaf and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
6
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
