Not everyone has the time, the skill,\u00a0 or the ambition to bake their own bread.\u00a0 This recipe is amazing. \u00a0 It is unbelievably quick and easy. YOU CAN MAKE IT IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is unbelievably delicious.\u00a0 Just try and eat one slice.\u00a0 It is so good I urge you to make it\u00a0 and then share the recipe with everyone you know.\u00a0 If you have children old enough to take a hot pan out of the oven teach them this recipe.<\/p>\n

CURRENT SODA NO-KNEAD BREAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>2 cups unbleached flour<\/p>\n

1 tsp sea salt<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 tsp baking soda<\/p>\n

1 tsp cinnamon<\/p>\n

1 cup buttermilk<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup currents<\/p>\n

Easy Peasy Method:<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl place flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and currents.\u00a0 Mix thoroughly.\u00a0 Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add your buttermilk.\u00a0 Mix gently .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Turn the dough out onto a generously flowered work surface.\u00a0 Use a bench scraper or spatula and roll the dough around just until it looses its stickiness.\u00a0 The dough will be extremely slack and the bench(dough) scraper will help you form the dough into a round loaf.<\/p>\n

Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment.\u00a0 Score an X on the top to allow steam to escape and bake for\u00a0 15 minutes at 450\u00b0F then reduce the heat to 425\u00b0F and continue baking\u00a0 or until it as dark and crusty as you like.\u00a0 Remove from pan;\u00a0 let cool on a wire rack.\u00a0 (if you can)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I sliced it while the bread was still warm, slathered it with butter, and enjoyed the pleasure of\u00a0 bread fresh from the oven.<\/p>\n

VARIATIONS:<\/p>\n

You can make this bread plain by leaving out the cinnamon and currents.<\/p>\n

Or you can add\u00a0 a generous tablespoon of lemon or orange zest and coarsely chopped walnuts.<\/p>\n

Olives, what about adding Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped and coarsely ground black pepper and serve this bread with goat cheese.<\/p>\n

You get the picture.\u00a0 You can be wonderfully creative with this recipe. Stock up the refrigerator with buttermilk and start baking.\u00a0 Bon Appetit.<\/p>\n
