Grandma Cheryl's Soda Bread

4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
14 ounces buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a cake pan. In large bowl combine all dry ingredients. Add buttermilk to form a sticky dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead (too much allows the gas to escape)
Shape into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough. Cover the pan with another pan and back for 30 min (this simulates the bastible pot). Remove cover and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped to show it is done.
Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.
