Main Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups buttermilk

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Mix until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet.
Cut a deep cross on top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes:

For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of sugar or a handful of raisins to the dough.
