How To Make crusty onion horseradish & garlic bread loaf

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. I made this crusty and flavorful bread loaf to compliment my Vegetable with Beef and Orzo Soup. It was a great addition to the soup. Spray a large shallow baking pan or cast iron skillet with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed. Some of the ingredients used to make the bread loaf.
• 
  Step 2
  Sift flour into a large bowl then make a well in the center of it adding the salt, sugar & baking soda.
• 
  Step 3
  Then add the horseradish chopped green onion tops, granulated garlic, egg and buttermilk.
• 
  Step 4
  Then with a spoon or by hand gradually begin to blend the spices into the flour mixture, with the wet ingredients until the dough comes together.
• 
  Step 5
  Dough may tend to be a little sticky. Add enough extra flour just until it holds together. Then shape into desired shape and place on baking pan or in skillet. I chose to make it like a loaf this time. With a serrated knife make a long X across bread about 1 1/2 inches deep so that the steam can escape as the bread cooks.

  Step 6
  Bake in preheated 450 degrees F oven for 15 minutes then REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE TO 400 DEGREES AND CONTINUE TO BAKE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL BREAD SOUNDS HALLOW WHEN TAPPED ON THE BOTTOM.

  Step 7
  Remove from oven and spray with butter flavored cooking spray or brush top with softened butter if desired. I find it much easier to slice bread using an electric knife. Add softened butter while bread is warm if desired.
