Quick wheaten bread is a simple and nutritious recipe that can be whipped up within minutes. Unlike traditional yeast breads, this version uses baking soda as a leavening agent, making it faster to prepare. Ideal for those who want homemade bread without the lengthy process, this recipe combines basic pantry ingredients to create a delicious loaf that’s perfect for any meal.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour the buttermilk into the well. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix until the dough comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be somewhat sticky and shaggy.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, gently shape the dough into a round or oval loaf. Avoid kneading too much as this can result in a tougher bread.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross or "X" on the top of the dough. This allows the bread to expand properly while baking.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If you have a food thermometer, the internal temperature should read about 190°F (88°C) when it's done.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps the bread set and makes it easier to cut.
Slice your Quick Wheaten Bread and enjoy it with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. It pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or simply as a delicious snack on its own.
Tips:
- Ensure your baking soda is fresh to ensure proper leavening.
- Do not overmix the dough; just combine until ingredients are incorporated to avoid tough bread.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- For added flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.
- Use a sharp knife to score the top of the loaf before baking for a more professional look.
Quick wheaten bread is a fantastic go-to recipe for busy days or when you want fresh bread without a lot of fuss. With its simple ingredients and straightforward process, you can delight in the aroma and taste of homemade bread in no time. Give it a try and elevate your meals with this easy and delicious bread.
