Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk mixed with 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar)
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning (or favorite dried herbs)
  • ½ cup chopped black olives
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary
  • ½ cup oats (save a few to sprinkle on top)
  • ¼ cup honey

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. (Use a bowl that is bigger than what you see in the video!)

  2. 2

    Pour the buttermilk and butter into the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon.

  3. 3

    Add the cheddar cheese and Italian seasoning and mix until they are incorporated. (You can skip this step for a plain version or add either the olive and feta or oat and honey variations.

  4. 4

    Dump the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a ball with your hands. Using the parchment paper, lift the dough and place it into a pot. Score the top with a knife (this is so that the bread cooks properly), put the lid onto the pot, then bake for 45-55 minutes. When it's cooked, the crust will be golden brown and the bread will sound hollow if you knock on the top of it.

  5. 5

    Lift the bread out of the pot using the parchment paper then wait 30 minutes before slicing it.
