Simple Yeastless Bread
Similar to Irish Soda Bread, this dense bread is yummy right out the oven or toasted with some cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 c. flour plus more for kneading
- ¾ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 c. buttermilk (or substitute)
- 3 tbsp. butter melted and divided
Instructions
- Start by heating your oven to 375° F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together until combined. Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk and 2 tbsp. of melted butter into the middle. Then mix until you have a dough form before scraping the dough out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle some additional flour over the top and lightly knead the dough no more than 8 times. If you knead it more it will be really tough and difficult to eat. Form the dough into a 6-inch round dome and place on your parchment lined baking sheet. Remember that this dough won't rise-so don't allow it to sit for a long period of time.
- Before baking, use a sharp knife to cut an "x" across the top of the dome. Then brush the remaining butter across the top of the dome. Bake the bread for about 35 minutes or until it's golden brown and not doughy in the middle. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
