Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 250 g whole wheat or nutty wheat flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
  • 420 ml buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 Tbs chopped Rosemary
  • 2 brown onions chopped
  • 1 Tbsp butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the butter in a frying pan, preferably non-stick and saute the onions for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat until they soften and start becoming translucent. You don't want them to brown, but they retain texture. Allow to cool.
  2. You can make this by hand or use a mixer with a paddle attachment. Place all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine. Add the buttermilk and cooled onions buttermilk and very quickly mix to incorporate. Do not overmix.
  3. Tip out on a floured surface and bring the dough into a round ball. Flatten this slightly and cut 4 slits around the sides - about 1/4 of the way into the dough.
  4. Lift the dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake in an oven that has been preheated to 200C for 35 - 45 minutes. It is done when it is browned on the outside and gives a hollow sound when tapped. You could also test by piercing with a sharp knife.
