Makes    1 loaf
  • Plain white flour 500g
  • Sugar 10g
  • Salt 10g
  • Baking powder 10g
  • Bicarbonate of soda 5g
  • Buttermilk (or a half and half mix of water and natural yogurt) 410g
  1. Weigh the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

  2. Add the buttermilk and mix thoroughly until all of the dry flour has been mixed in. Don’t work the dough too much as it will release the glutens in the flour.

  3. Tip onto a floured surface and shape into a round of about 2½ cm in height.

  4. Place onto a non-stick baking sheet, flour the top and cut a cross half way through the dough. Sprinkle with oats if you like for added texture.

  5. Place into a pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes at 190°c/gas 5 until golden brown.

  6. Let the bread cool before serving.
