Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 250 g plain white flour
  • 250 g plain wholemeal flour
  • 1 ts salt
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 400 ml buttermilk

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. (390 Fahrenheit)
  • In a large bowl, add the white and wholemeal flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and mix gently with the tips of your fingers.
  • Make a well in the middle and add the buttermilk.
  • Mix quickly to form a soft, pretty sticky dough, then turn it onto a lightly-floured surface and knead briefly, just enough for the dough to hold together and be shaped into a ball.
  • Flour a large baking tray, place the bread on it, then use a sharp knife to cut a cross on the top. Spread some flour over it, then bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the bottom of the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Allow it to cool on a wire rack.
