Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 1.5 cups Buttermilk
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4 tbsp Cold Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add it to the flour mixture and use your fingers to rub the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to stir until a sticky dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together into a dome shape. Do not knead.
  • Transfer the dome to the prepared baking sheet and use a sharp tool to score a deep cross into the top of the loaf.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Wrap the warm bread in a clean tea towel to keep the crust from getting too hard.
