Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups (525 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) buttermilk possible a bit more

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl mix together the flour, caraway seeds, baking soda and salt. Slowly pour in the buttermilk and mix well.
  • Using your hands, knead the dough well (in the bowl) until it all comes together. You may need to add more buttermilk in order for all of the flour mixture to come together.  If you do add more buttermilk, add about 2 tablespoons more at a time.
  • Once you are able to form a ball with your dough, and there is not a significant amount of flour at the bottom of the bowl, transfer it to the center of a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the top of your dough, making a large “X” which is about 1 inch deep.
  • Place in the middle rack of your oven and bake for approximately 30 – 35 minutes.
  • Your bread is done when it is a nice golden brown, and when you tap the underside it sounds hollow.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool (or not).
  • Enjoy!
