Ingredients- 180gm Wholemeal Self Raising Flour

METHOD
Place both flours, salt, bi-carb soda and caster sugar in a large mixing bowl and briefly mix together.
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and using a fork mix the milk through the dry ingredients until combined. Once combined tip the dough out onto a lightly floured bench and knead for 20-30seconds.
Shape the dough into a large round roll, line a baking tray with baking paper and transfer the dough to the baking tray. Cut a cross in the top of the dough and leave on the bench to rest for 8-10 minutes.
Once the dough has rested place the tray into a pre-heated oven combi setting 200 °C for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes decrease the temperature to 185 °C combi setting for a further 20 minutes.
Once baked remove from the oven and cool on a cake rack.

HINTS & TIPS
The key to this simple bread is to not over knead the dough. Knead it until the ingredients are just combined.
The combination of bi-carb soda and buttermilk work together in the place of yeast to leaven the bread and give it air and ensure the end bread is not to dense.
