Yes, you can make beautiful homemade rustic bread WITHOUT the yeast, proof, or rise. Made so quickly + easily. AND SO GOOD.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour*
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet or Dutch oven in the oven.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking soda.
- In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula until a wet, sticky dough forms.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times, shaping the dough into an 8-inch round, about 1-inch thick, adding additional flour as needed.
- Place dough into the prepared skillet. Using a sharp knife or bread lame, cut a 1/2-inch deep "X" into the top of the bread; brush with additional buttermilk and sprinkle with rolled oats.
- Place into oven and bake until golden brown and the bottom of the bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Notes
*Whole wheat flour or a combination of all-purpose flour + whole wheat flour can be substituted.
