Cook this recipe

  • all-purpose flour-500 g
  • cultured buttermilk-420 ml
  • baking soda-5 g
  • kosher salt-5 g
1
Preheat and prepare pan
Baking Sheet
Parchment paper

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2
Combine dry ingredients
Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Kitchen scale

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly combined.

500 Gram wheat flour
5 Gram baking soda
5 Gram Kosher Salt
3
Mix the dough
Large mixing bowl
Wooden spoon

Pour in the cultured buttermilk and stir just until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.

Do not taste raw dough; raw flour can contain harmful bacteria.

420 Milliliter buttermilk
4
Shape the loaf
Baking Sheet
Parchment paper

Turn the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and, with lightly damp hands, shape it into a round loaf about 6 inches wide; do not overwork the dough.

5
Score the loaf
Sharp knife

Use a sharp knife to cut a deep cross across the top of the loaf, slicing about 1/2 inch deep.

Keep fingers clear of the knife path while scoring the dough.

6
Bake
Baking Sheet

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust is browned, the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, and the center reaches about 200°F.

Use oven mitts when handling the hot baking sheet.

Check doneness before serving; the center should be fully baked, not gummy.

7
Cool before slicing
Wire cooling rack

Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing so the crumb can set properly.

Let the bread cool before slicing to reduce the risk of burns and tearing.
