Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme)
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Stir in the grated cheese and chopped herbs until evenly distributed.
  4. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute.
  6. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Cut a deep cross into the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be toasted for a delightful crunch later on.
