No-Rise Rustic Bread

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F and lightly flour a baking sheet.

   In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, oil and water. Mix wet ingredients into the dry just until a smooth dough forms.

   On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead bread to shape, about 3 minutes, and then form it into a 6-inch diameter round loaf. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score it along the center.
