Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk into the center.

Mix the dough together using your hands, or a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together just until it forms a round.

Place the loaf on a parchment lined baking sheet. With a knife, score the top of the loaf in an x. Place it in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown.

Take the loaf out of the oven and allow it to cool at least 10 minutes before cutting into it. Serve with butter and jam or alongside my Guinness Beef Stew.
