Preheat oven to 190 C. Grease a baking tray with melted butter or margarine. |
| 2 |
Sift flours and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Use sufficint buttermilk to moisten the ingredients and form a soft dough-the amount of buttermilk required will depend on the strength of the flour. |
| 3 |
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Press into a 20 cm round. Place round on a greased baking tray. With a floured knife score a deep cross, one third of the depth of dough. Brush with water and sprinkle with a little flour. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped with the fingers. |

Hint: No yeast is used in this bread. Bicarbonate of soda and buttermilk give rise, texture and flavour. If buttermilk is unavailable use sour milk. Add one teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to each up of milk. Allow to stand 15 minutes before using. |
