Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups buttermilk see notes
- ¼ cup melted butter
Herb and Cheddar
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning or favorite dried herbs
Olive and Feta
- ½ cup chopped black olives
- 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 teaspoons rosemary
Oat and Honey
- ½ cup oats save a few to sprinkle on top
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. (Use a bowl that is bigger than what you see in the video!)
- Pour the buttermilk and butter into the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon.
- Add the cheddar cheese and Italian seasoning and mix until they are incorporated. (You can skip this step for a plain version or add either the olive and feta or oat and honey variations.
- Dump the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a ball with your hands. Using the parchment paper, lift the dough and place it into a pot. Score the top with a knife (this is so that the bread cooks properly), put the lid onto the pot, then bake for 45-55 minutes. When it's cooked, the crust will be golden brown and the bread will sound hollow if you knock on the top of it.
- Lift the bread out of the pot using the parchment paper then wait 30 minutes before slicing it.

Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk, it's easy to make! Simply put 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar into a 2-cup measuring cup and then add enough milk to make 2 cups.
