Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking tray with non stick spray.
In a mixing bowl fitted with a bread hook, beat together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, pepper, rosemary and cheese.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the egg to the buttermilk and beat until combined.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour and lightly mix through until it becomes sticky and a ball forms.
Dump the dough out onto a flour dusted work surface and roughly knead the dough. Cut the dough in half and shape each piece into an ball shape. If the dough is on the wet side, add some extra flour.
Place the dough balls onto your prepared baking tray. Take a sharp serrated knife and cut an X on top of the soda bread.
Season the top with some more salt and bake in the oven for 25 minutes and the top is golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!
