It is made with a combination of flour, salt, baking soda, and milk, making it an easy and accessible recipe for home bakers. The crust is crispy and golden brown, while the inside is tender and fragrant with a slight tang from the vinegar in the milk. This bread is perfect for serving alongside soups, stews, or meats, or simply enjoyed warm with your favorite butter or jam.

2.	In a measuring cup, combine the milk and vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes to curdle.
3.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
4.	Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5.	Transfer the dough into a lightly oiled 10-inch skillet and flatten the top.
6.	Cut a deep cross into the dough and bake in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
7.	Serve warm with butter or your favorite jam.
