Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 275g/2 1/2cups Sainsbury's very strong Canadian bread flour
  • 200g/1 2/3cups Doves Farm wholemeal buckwheat flour
  • 350ml/1 1/2cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 large egg (large)
  • 1 tsp Sainsbury's runny honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sea salt to sprinkle on top

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/375F.
  • Combine both flours, baking soda, salt in a mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl whisk buttermilk with the egg and honey.
  • Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and then pour in the wet mixture. Start mixing with a wooden spoon until comes together. Alternatively you can mix it in a stand mixer.
  • Turn out the dough on a flour surface and gently knead until smooth. It shouldn't take longer than 20-30 seconds. Add a little extra flour if you find the dough is too wet and sticky or a bit more buttermilk if it's too dry.
  • Shape into a ball and put on a floured baking sheet. Sprinkle with more flour and score a cross on it and top with flaky sea salt such as Maldon or your favourite.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the bread sounds hollow if you tap on it.
