1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2–3 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, or chives)
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or grease a skillet.
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Stir in cheddar and herbs.
Add buttermilk, mix until dough comes together.
Shape into a round loaf, place on baking sheet.
Score the top with a deep X.
Bake 35–40 minutes, until golden and hollow-sounding.
Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
No buttermilk? Use milk plus lemon juice.
Swap cheddar for Gruyère or smoked cheese.
