Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C / gasmark 3).
  2. Use cooking spray or grease and then lightly flour a 9x5x3-inch baking pan.
  3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Form a cavity in the middle.

  8. Cut the top at least three times with a knife.
  9. Bake for 65–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean.
  10. Cool on a wire rack.
  11. Wrap in tea-towel or foil several hours or overnight for best flavor.
