Ingredients
- 400 grams Wholemeal flour
- 50 grams White flour (all-purpose)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 450 milliliters Buttermilk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a standard loaf tin or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, white flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the buttermilk.
Step 4
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gently mix the ingredients until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to a dense loaf.
Step 5
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf tin, spreading it out evenly. If desired, smooth the top with the back of a spoon or your hands lightly dusted with flour.
Step 6
Place the loaf tin into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the bread has risen, the top has turned a deep golden brown, and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 7
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the tin. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 8
Serve fresh with butter or your favorite spreads.
