• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large cast-iron skillet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Parmesan, sugar, rosemary, kosher salt, baking powder, baking soda and red pepper flakes. Working over the bowl, grate the butter on the large holes of a box grater, letting the grated butter fall over the flour mixture. Gently toss the butter into the flour. Using a fork, stir in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
• Scrape the dough onto a work surface, gather up any crumbs and knead gently until the dough just comes together. Shape the dough into a round loaf and transfer it to the prepared skillet.
