Pan de soda

Ingredientes

• 500 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 400 ml buttermilk

Preparación

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6.

2. 2

   Put the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl, then stir in the buttermilk and mix to combine to a soft dough.

3. 3

   Tip out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and quickly shape the dough into a ball.

4. 4

   Flatten the ball slightly and place it on the lined baking tray. Use a metal skewer to cut a cross in the top of the bread, almost down to the base (but without cutting all the way through).

5. 5

   Bake the loaf for 30 minutes, until golden brown and the base sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
