Take A Loaf Home! Recipe

Baking Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

3. 3

   Add Buttermilk

   Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Mix until a dough forms.

4. 4

   Incorporate Butter and Herbs

   Melt the butter and pour it into the dough mixture. If using herbs, add them at this stage. Gently knead the dough in the bowl until just combined.

5. 5

   Shape the Loaf

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Score the Top

   Using a sharp knife, score a cross or an ‘X’ on the top of the loaf. This helps the bread bake evenly.

7. 7

   Bake the Bread

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
