- 130 grams Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 500 grams All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 425 ml Buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Shred cheddar cheese using the medium sized holes on a box grater.
- Add the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl and whisk together.
- Add the shredded cheese and using your hands, mix so that the cheese is evenly distributed in the dry ingredients.
- Add the buttermilk and mix until mostly incorporated.
- Tip mixture onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Using your hands, gently squeeze in any remaining flour and shape the dough into a ball that is approximately 3" thick.
- Using a very sharp knife, cut one vertical and one horizontal line through your dough almost to the bottom of the loaf.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes. You will know the loaf is baked when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap on the underside of the loaf.
