# Bread (Soda Bread/Quick Bread)

Yields: One loaf (flatbread) for 1 person.
Time: About 45 min. (Preparation + Baking)


## Ingredients

2	Cups of flour (wheat or spelt)
1	Teaspoon of baking soda
1/2	Teaspoon of salt
2 	Cups of buttermilk (~ make it
        a pint and take a good sip on
	my health before starting)


## Preparation Part 1

- Preheat oven (190 deg. C)
- Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix them.
- Add the buttermilk.
- Stir until everything got soaked with buttermilk.

### DON'T KNEAD THE DOUGH!

This dough is rather liquid. Don't be surprised.
It's supposed to be that way. Don't add anything
to make it thicker. Just stir it.

Fold your bakery paper in a way, that the dough
doesn't flow over the rim of your sheet pan/baking
tray.


## Preparation Part 2

- Fold bakery paper.
- Put folded bakery paper on your sheet pan.
- Pour the dough on the sheet.
- Bake in oven for 30min.


## Is It Ready?

- Baking time is normally between 20 and 45min.
- It is ready if the bread sounds hollow when
  tapped on.
- Start tap-testin after 30 min.


## When It's Ready...

... put your bread into an oven/tea-towel while
it's cooling down. According to tradition this
will take out the baking soda taste. Test, whether
tradition got it right.



# Variants 


## Whole-Grain

Use whole grain flour from wheat or spelt. Don't
use rye for the leavening agent won't work.


## Roman

Add laurel leaves to the dough. Combine with
coriander seeds (XOR coriander powder) and black
caraway.


## Kefir

Use milk based kefir instead of buttermilk. You
probably need 2 + 1/2 cups because kefir contains
less water than buttermilk.
