Cheddar & Herb Soda Bread

Cheddar & Herb Soda Bread


  • Author: Emily Walker
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 1 hearty loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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.
