Cheddar and Herb Irish Soda Bread

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust a work surface with flour.

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the green onion tops, rosemary, and thyme, and toss to combine; stir in the Cheddar cheese.

3. 3

   Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until no dry flour remains. Turn the dough out onto the floured work surface and scrape the bowl completely—the dough will be sticky. Flour your hands generously and knead only until it comes together into a smooth ball.

4. 4

   Set the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Pat it out into a roughly 7- to 8-inch round loaf. With a sharp knife or lame, score a cross on the surface of the dough.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

6. 6

   Bake for another 20 minutes. Check the bottom of the bread. If it is still pale and not cooked, flip the bread so the bottom is on top, and bake for 10 more minutes. The bread should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
