Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Wholemeal flour
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 400 ml Buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to distribute the baking soda evenly.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, gently mix the ingredients until they come together to form a dough. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disk about 2 inches (5 cm) thick.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use a sharp knife to cut a deep cross into the top of the dough. This allows the bread to expand as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or your favorite spreads. Enjoy!
