8½ oz plain white flour

8½ oz plain wholemeal flour, plus a little extra to sprinkle

1 tspn bicarbonate of soda

½ tsp salt

Mix all dry ingredients either in a mixer with a dough hook or using the "well method" on your board. Add in the buttermilk and mix into a smooth dough. If needed add a tablespoon more of buttermilk at a time being careful not to get the dough too wet.

Place some board flour on your board and knead briefly.

Once kneaded form into a same round approximately 8" in diameter and domed in the center.

Cut a cross into the dough halfway through and dust the top with some of the board flour.

Bake in a preheated wood grill or oven at 400° F for 30 minutes on a piece of parchment. Cool on a wire rack.  Enjoy!
