Ingredients:

1.50 cups buttermilk
Parmesan soda bread is a delightful twist on the classic soda bread, incorporating the rich, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese. This quick bread is perfect for those who want to create a homemade loaf without dealing with the time and complexity of yeast-based breads. Its savory taste pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, or can simply be enjoyed on its own.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
- Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to keep the butter from warming up too much.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
- Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead it gently a few times (about 5-6 folds) to bring it together more cohesively.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf, about 1.5 inches high.
- Transfer the shaped dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, score an ‘X’ or cross on the top of the dough. This helps the bread bake evenly and gives it a traditional look.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.
- Enjoy your Parmesan Soda Bread warm with a pat of butter, or alongside your favorite soup or salad.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold and cut into small pieces before incorporating it into the flour mixture for optimal texture.
- Don't overmix the dough; a gentle mix until just combined will result in a tender crumb.
- For a crispier crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter before baking.
- Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy inside.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
In just a few simple steps and with common ingredients, you can bake a delicious loaf of Parmesan soda bread that is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you serve it warm from the oven or toasted with a bit of butter, this bread is both versatile and satisfying.
