Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 430°F. Melt the butter on a warm baking sheet, greasing the surface.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt).
Step 3
Make a well in the mixture and pour in half of the buttermilk (you can make it at home: add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk). Mix the dough with your hands, then pour in the remaining buttermilk so that the dough becomes soft but not too wet.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface. Form a round about 20 cm in diameter and make a small cross-shaped cut on top.
Step 5
Place the dough round on the baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes.
