Ingredients
- 250 g plain white flour
- 250 g plain wholemeal flour
- 1 ts salt
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 500 ml buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- In a large bowl, sift 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.

- Add more buttermilk if you feel that the dough is not soft enough - different brands of flour would get you different results - you can increase the buttermilk to up to 500 ml if needed.
