Equipment

Ingredients

3 ¼ cups (405 g) all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups (354 ml) buttermilk
2 Tablespoons (354) olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F (205C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3 ¼ cups (405 g) all-purpose flour, 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 ½ teaspoons salt
Make a well in the center and add 1 cup of buttermilk and olive oil. Whisk together in the well and gradually stir into the flour mixture. Add remaining buttermilk as needed until dough clings together and you have a shaggy dough.
1 ½ cups (354 ml) buttermilk, 2 Tablespoons (354) olive oil
Transfer to a clean, lightly floured surface and briefly knead dough several times (don’t over-do it) and form dough into a round ball. It will be a bit shaggy and a bit sticky. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten with your hands. Use a sharp knife to score a deep (about halfway into the center of the bread) “X” into the top center of the bread.
Transfer to 400F (205C) oven and bake for 35-40 minutes and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow to cool then slice and enjoy.
