Ingredients

Servings
  • 400 g all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 354 ml (1 ½ cups) buttermilk or homemade buttermilk (see Notes) Add more if needed 1 one tablespoon at a time
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (200°C) and 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 dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and oil. `
  4. Use a wooden spoon to gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. The dough should be soft but not wet and sticky.
  5. Lightly flour a work surface and transfer the dough. Don't knead the dough; instead, flip it over and pat it gently just to bring it together into a round loaf, about 1-½ inches thick. Be careful not to overwork it.
  6. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow "X" on the top of the loaf (this helps steam escape during baking).
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the heat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20 to 30 minutes more. The top should be deep golden brown, and the bottom should sound hollow when tapped. Serve warm.
