Then add a bit of flour to your hands and gently knead in bowl until a rough ball forms. Add more flour if dough is too stick but do not over knead! Transfer to a lightly floured surface and shape into a round loaf. the dough will be a little stiff and quite shaggy. <br />Transfer to a large cast iron skillet that has been sprayed. Put a cross in the top, dividing the top into 4 parts about an inch deep, Bake 35- to 45 min. <br /><br />Mine came out a bit dark, should have taken it out earlier that 45, They said to put a bit of foil on top if it is getting dark. I used milk with a teaspoon of vinegar added because I was out of Buttermilk and it worked just fine. I got this from simplerecipes.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682574008586670613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415761398038279384.post-67028880787907628792014-03-19T15:24:52.579-04:002014-03-19T15:24:52.579-04:00Paddi- would love it if you shared the recipe.
