In a bowl combine 1 egg, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Butter a ramekin or a small round bowl, pour bread mixture into bowl and microwave on high for 1.5 minute.

Remove bowl from microwave, allow to cool off for 30 seconds. Using a spatula, round the edges and remove the bread from the bowl, slice in half and place aside.
