Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups (960 ml) gluten-free all-purpose flour (Bob's Red Mill)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- Cracked pepper
- 1 cup (240 ml) grated gruyere cheese (or parmesan or asiago)
- 2 1/4 cups (540 ml) buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except for the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
- Form a well in the flour
- Pour in the buttermilk
- Using a spoon, stir the buttermilk into the flour, making small circles first then working your way outward to incorporate all the flour.
- Form the dough into a ball in your hands and turn it out onto a floured surface. The dough will be sticky. Kneed the dough a few times then form it into a disc about 2” thick. You can sprinkle some flour on the disc. Place the dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
- Using a serrated knife, gently cut an X into the dough, about 1/2” to 1” deep.
- Bake the bread 20 minutes and then lower oven heat to 400 degrees and bake 27 to 30 minutes or until the bread is golden-brown and sounds hallow when tapped.
Notes
- Replace the Gluten-free flour with equal parts all-purpose flour or a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat
