Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6.
Step 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.
Step 3
Tip out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and quickly shape the dough into a ball.
Step 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).
Step 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.
