Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra as needed
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 tbsp each of chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, and sage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in chopped herbs and cheddar cheese.
Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined.
On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into a smooth ball (knead just a little).
Pat into a 7-inch round and place on a floured baking sheet.
Dust the top with flour and score a deep cross with a knife.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375°F and bake another 30–35 minutes.
Tap the bottom – if it sounds hollow, it’s done!
Wrap in a clean tea towel to cool and soften the crust.
