Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter cut into pieces, cold unsalted
  • 1 ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
  3. Whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together (the dough will be sticky). Turn the dough out onto a flour surface and knead with floured hands just until the dough comes together into a ball. Form into a ball about 7 inches in diameter.
  4. Place the loaf in a cast iron skillet or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut an X shape into the top of the loaf.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
