Preparación

1. 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a bread pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside for now.

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.

3. 3

   Pour in the buttermilk (3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) and stir together with a fork until buttermilk has been absorbed into the flour mixture.

4. 4

   Transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead together to form a rustic oval shape. Do not need more than 30 seconds!

5. 5

   Place the oval into the greasted bread pan. Bake for 40 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove from oven and allow the bread to rest for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire cooling rack to cool.

   Wait 20 minutes before slicing. Bread can be served warm, at room temperature, or toasted.
